Pros

Very strong product offering High level of talent across all pillars Hyper growth leads to many promotional opportunities

Cons

Outside hires in Sr. Leadership positions struggled to understand the product offerings and at times, refused to learn the ecosystems. Instead, they would rely solely on whatever overly structured Fortune 500 company they came from as a playbook for success.

Pros

Fast growing company with the ability to create, implement, and track new/on-going continuous improvement projects. Little to no micro-management from my leadership, allowing me to focus on projects I deem important to my team and org. Incredible culture with the majority of team members being bought in companies product & impact. Phenomenal leadership with clear guidance on company direction, strategy on how we expect to hit targets, and candor on all-hands calls, Preside AMAs, etc. No layoffs since Covid due to leadership not overstaffing and scaling appropriately

Cons

Rapid growing company with a lot to figure out in terms of process. While this presents low-hanging fruit for efficiency/improvement gains, not everyone thinks with this mindset and can complain instead of taking action. Lot's of employees from previous tech roles / companies that complain about low impact culture items.
