Pros

Great software, an energized development and product team, passionate operations team, motivated sales. Making money hand over fist; blew away financial expectations for every quarter of my employment.

Cons

My specific position began in an idyllic fashion with a fully staffed department. After the departure of two key staff members (co-lead and developer), the workload stalled as we outsourced and tried to cover other desks. Too many applications in our tech stack led to a lack of ownership or pride in any of them. Training stalled as the supervisor tried to cover the developer's desk. I was not trained to lead, but to cover. When a new director was brought on no attention was paid to the current process or workload, only an effort to completely replace. I was suddenly thrust into a position to which I was not trained and I was humiliated by failures I couldn't control. After all, you don't know what you don't know, and if there is no investment of time you will never know it.

Pros

Peers are a true pleasure to work with and it's easy to cross-collaborate.

Cons

Leadership is all-in on AI and confident that they will be the exception to the second wave of regret you see other SaaS companies who adopted earlier expressing. Leadership is demanding faster output and criticizing and eliminating any old guard who flag concerns around the approach.
