Pros

Working with the US team has been an incredibly rewarding experience - Although the company is still in its early stages here in the US, it has that energetic "startup" vibe, which makes every day feel fresh and full of potential. There’s a strong sense of building something from the ground up, and this has allowed myself and my team members to take on more ownership and contribute directly to shaping processes and driving projects forward. The leadership gives us the flexibility to innovate and move quickly, which is a huge motivator. I’ve been able to fast-track initiatives and implement solutions without feeling restricted (within bounds), which has helped heaps with both my personal growth and the company’s progress. The full team is supportive and collaborative - creating a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

Cons

While the freedom to build the foundation of key initiatives without too many restrictions is a great aspect of the role, the fast-paced environment and low downtime sometimes result in a lack of consistent support from management. While the upside is that this pace prevents projects from being slowed down, it can also leave you without clear metrics or specific guidelines. This ambiguity occasionally leads to overthinking or overcomplicating tasks in an effort to ensure that everything is done properly, which can be challenging without clearer direction.

Pros

So many SOPs, it sets my soul on fire to feel like I'm walking into a structured work place which is so rare these days in my experience Lots of support as you get used to your role Great learning opportunities Great PTO policy

Cons

Can be overwhelming at the beginning but you have so much support around you that it doesn't leave a bad taste US Team is just beginning to grow so roles are in development but it works well for people willing to put in the work
