Pros
I've worked at various startups, so I'm used to chaos and ambiguity. Although RigUp, does have an element of that, it's certainly more put together than a lot of companies functioning in the "startup" category. I have a clear direction, know what success looks like, and have the support from all levels of management. The bonus is that I really enjoy everyone I work with! What I love about RigUp, is that I know my work matters. What we all work towards matters and it's very fulfilling. And at the end of the day, I know RigUp is trending in the right direction and that everyone is genuinely trying. I feel fortunate to be on this train, with this team, working towards something that actually makes an impact on the world.
Cons
This isn't a cush job. There is a sense of pressure to perform at a certain standard. I personally am motivated by that, but I've seen it push out coworkers. The other con could be the ups and downs of the industry. But with risk comes reward, and I feel confident the leaders have the knowledge to navigate this crazy time. They've already shown this through well-timed diversification.
