Pros
- Exceptional people… you’re surrounded by high-performing, talented people, who are all the best in their fields. - You’ll likely go from being the top performer at your previous workplace to feeling average… that’s the reality for many. - Strong culture of excellence which is non-negotiable. - The company has significantly raised the talent bar recently by bringing in experienced experts and moved on average performers. - High standards mean you’re working with a capable team that constantly delivers the impossible.
Cons
- Look, it’s not an environment where you can coast. If you’re not talented or willing to continuously improve, it will be difficult to keep up. - The pace of work is fast, and time is the biggest constraint. You are asked to do the “impossible” but this is because the threat doesn’t wait. But when we achieve that milestone as a team, the result is meaningful. - Workload + time pressure can create stress. This just means if you are not good at prioritising or communicating your priorities, you will struggle.
