Working at ‘Drataspeed’

Originally a member of the integrations team, Parr's manager pushed her toward a new frontier: uncomfortability. “My manager gave me tasks to help me gain new skills and chase that growth, including moving to the platform team,” she said. On this team, her efforts are focused on defining guidelines, processes and tooling for development experience. Fortunately, her transition between teams was supported by her colleagues. “My transition would not have been possible without my new team letting me ask questions, take on new unfamiliar tasks and sharing their wealth of knowledge,” said Parr.

At Drata, remote work is delightful, said Penn. The global company provides ample opportunity for in-person collaboration and company-wide events. For Penn, remote work has unlocked a new level of work-life balance. In lieu of commuting, Penn has gained time for meals with his spouse and has taken on new hobbies. “Let’s not forget the ability to spend those extra minutes in bed some mornings,” he said. Penn has found connection via Drata’s active Slack channels and remote team events. “‘Lunch & Learns’ come to mind,” Penn said. “These incentives help motivate you through the day.”
