Pros
Rex as a firm has high aspirations and hires in people who have the same. The ceiling is set very high which allows self-motivated employees to do very well here. Key positives are: resource allocation to support innovation and progress, trust and empowerment to grow in stretch assignments, entrepreneur-mentality to make some mistakes and find each product's or business's competitive advantage in the market, surrounded by bright & genuine people.
Cons
When we fail, we fail fast (which is in itself a pro). However, this can feel like chaotic pivots and a lot of energy is spent on start, stops, and restarts. The company can help teammates see these for what they are == opportunities to build something better and more durable, which is better than continuing to invest resources and capital on low yield business opportunities.
