An Insider's view of SmartBear

What’s the vibe like in the office?

I think the office space is great for people of all ages and tenures. It's a warm environment for everyone, but as a recent college graduate, it's nice being able to see others who are in my age bracket. The office is very open to conversation and is always willing to extend a helping hand. All in all, the vibes here are good!

Lesly Nerette

Account Executive I

What does your typical day look like?

My typical day-to-day varies! As a growing company, I'm always working on ad-hoc projects that are challenging and rewarding. Currently, the FP&A expense team is working on the 2024 plan, where we work closely with our business partners to plan and forecast expenses. It is my favorite time of the year because I get to know my business partners!

Kayla Bauerlein

Senior Financial Analyst

What makes someone successful on your team?

Although there are many ways, the first thought that comes to mind is someone driven for results, open to feedback, and having a growth mindset. The other way we measure our success is by delivering a quality candidate experience. Our team celebrates the different experiences and backgrounds we come from because we know it leads to better outcomes.

Allison Stone

Talent Acquisition Specialist

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We give our teams autonomy and trust they will work to achieve their goals. We have a culture of transparency and clear company strategic initiatives. Also, a lot of the creativity happens in our hybrid work environment where we have in-office team days, great food, collaborative spaces and the right digital tooling to encourage group brainstorming

Cynthia Gumbert

Chief Marketing Officer

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

As a leader, I always empower my team to challenge me and debate a really good idea. I believe the voice of many outperform the voice of few. For me, it’s about fostering psychological safety, allowing time for free-thinking, fast failing, and more. It's most important to make space for creativity, remove barriers, nurture talent and communicate!
