Pros
Clear leader in privacy management industry Start up company allows you to take on lots of responsibility Some of the most motivated people I’ve ever worked with High starting pay - but enjoy it. You probably won’t have another salary conversation without fighting for it. If you’re passionate about privacy, you will certainly learn a lot - including having your CIPP/E and CIPP/M paid for. Experienced Enterprise software account executives can certainly make some good money if they put in the effort.
Cons
CEO wants to maintain a flat org structure to be a fast-agile start up. In my experience, this means no career progression. Set goals if you want to, nobody will really care and there’s no formal employee reviews. Sure you have your sales goals, but that’s more of growing the company - not you. The flat structure fails too, as lots of internal processes get bureaucratic anyway. If there’s a specific need, they’ll throw the responsibility on overworked employee rather than hire the support. Lead by fear is a common review you see here, and you really feel it trickle down from middle managers (that somewhat exist despite “flat org”).
