Pros

You are promoted and paid based upon value creation, which is a great structure if you are a high performer. You must put some time into capturing and communicating that value creation PROACTIVELY if you really want to do well. Being private, and focusing on long term value creation rather than short term foolish decisions is a big plus.

Cons

The unwritten expectation is long hours, which tends to make work-life balance a struggle. The culture of the company is not for everyone, but if oyu can find a way to manage your workload and demonstrate value creation, you can have a good career.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
