Pros
-Scale-up growth = tons of opportunities to learn; you can lean in to the business and become an expert in the industry and/or your function, and be at the forefront of what we're building.
-Scale-up stage also means that there are processes in place, but there's also autonomy to execute on your own; you aren't micromanaged, but still have the support structures/guidance to help you get better at your job.
-Employees are fantastic and what sets the environment apart; they're across the board intelligent, driven, innovative, scrappy, and, unrelated, but everyone has a great sense of humor.
-Challenged every day; no two days are the same. Working here makes you agile.
-Tons of resources available for you to explore and utilize.
-Leadership cares about its employees and is receptive to feedback.
-Yes, there's a lot of hoorah about the Culture Code, but I see employees holding each other accountable to it; actions speak louder than words.
-Transparent from the top-down: we're looped in real time on business changes/decisions. The business and its employees take full ownership of mistakes we've made in the past, which helps us push forward and learn from them for the future.
-The momentum is huge. A lot of people drink the kool-aid, but that's because we believe in what we're building and are excited about where the business is headed.
-Work/life balance is real. Get your *stuff* done and it'll never be an issue to take time off / WFH.
Cons
-Comp could be more competitive for the SaaS space.
-Some business units are prioritized over others (product, sales).
-POps lacks clear promotional paths compared to other departments.
