- There's politics like everywhere else, and if you don't take the time to figure out your stakeholder and how to manage them, you pretty doomed anywhere you go, really... Here you do need high emotional intelligence to figure it out quickly, because things move at lightning pace!!
- I think people (incorrectly) associate a high-performing driven culture with being "male-dominated". Yes it's a driven & high-performing culture, but there's flexibility here, and as woman I do feel that my colleagues genuinely judge me on my deliverables & contribution, not "face-time" or where I do my work. I chose the global responsibility & exposure and I get that this choice comes with the weird hours. It's definitely about working harder, not smarter. I've admittedly done crazy hours since I joined but I love the work and the people so much it's hard to clock-watch!
-While there's a strong desire to continuously improve, some of the learnings get lost with it because it does happen such pace... But this is so minor it's almost not worth mentioning...
-And then there's the Flexible benefits and incredible travel discounts!
