An Insider's view of Bestow

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Bestow, since day one, our leadership team has always stressed the importance of maintaining a high-quality work-life balance. It has allowed me to be fully present in all things, both professionally and personally. With a positive balance in both places, my overall productivity has improved, all while pursuing my passions.

We have an open collaboration approach as we take advantage of available channels of communication (not afraid of over-communicating) and provide enough empowerment to each team to drive value. We have substantial autonomy to make decisions and move fast!

Jorge

What makes someone successful on your team?

What makes someone successful on our team is the willingness to learn and openness to be a part of something special. Being successful requires clear and open communication, providing support, access to great resources, and diversity. I am so fortunate to be able to rely on my team for all my needs within the company.

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

One of the best ways to remain accessible is to proactively reach out and connect with others, both virtually and in person. In the office, I like to visit with people over lunch, and virtually, I use the Donut app via Slack to randomly connect with one new person in the company each week.
