Pros
- I have had a chance to work with or at least interact with a lot of people across the company, and can honestly count on one hand how many of those interactions was one where I did not feel supported by my teammate. people here are so supportive and always willing to step outside of their comfort zone / what they normally work on to lend a help hand - Senior leadership is easy to talk to and very accessible, even to the people that do not normally work very close to them. As someone who is earlier on in my career, I appreciate that - Opportunity to work on multiple different things instead of being boxed into something. Opportunities for lateral movement which I've experienced myself and seen others experience as well - Recent push for more in person and virtual gatherings / team bondings
Cons
It's not a downside that is particular to Jerry because you know what you are stepping into when you sign up for a startup - some days are going to be longer than others, some weeks will be busier than others, and you're in it for the long run. You join a startup because you have faith in the leaders, the vision, your team, and yourself to make it happen, and where we are right now, I feel confident that we are going to get to where we want to be, on the timeline that we want to get there by, but you have to be ready to be patient and accepting that your immediate cash comp might not be aligned with other opportunities
