Pros

- Ability to grow your career and pivot amongst many different roles/functions. - High quality co-workers. - Instant vesting of employer match. - Growth company with long-term vision. - Work/Life balance: WFH opportunities, on-site fitness center, PTO, etc.

Cons

- Certain individuals don't thrive in a company that is stretching and growing - for me this is a positive. - Poor performers aren't always coached into a new role and are allowed to stay in their position, while others struggle to make up for them.
