Avantages
A 1/3 of the world's food is wasted. It's a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Leanpath invented a solution to track and prevent food waste in foodservice kitchens. Leanpath works with the world's largest foodservice companies cutting their food waste in half. I love the fact that everyday I get to work on such an important global issue. My colleagues are hard working, humane and supportive. I feel like I can be myself, I can be honest if I don't know something. That kind of honesty is encouraged. I've grown in my field because I've been given the opportunity again and again to learn more. It's a small company that invented the solution space. It is creating an industry that never existed. We problem solve every day. We succeed, we make mistakes, we support each other, and we never lose sight that while work is important, we are people living our lives.
Inconvénients
It is a small company with all the benefits and drawbacks that entails. I enjoy the creative problem solving that is needed when resources are constrained. I've worked in large companies where every system is developed, honed and followed. At Leanpath we are still creating systems. Not everyone will be suited to that kind of entrepreneurial atmosphere. No company is perfect. What I like about Leanpath is it is honest when there are shortcomings and is always working to be better.
