Unmatched product and market potential
Pros
Classic tech startup, with open floor plan, hardwood floors, great Soho NYC office location (also Tel Aviv), rapid hiring, decent snacks. Interesting mix of high-energy younger teammates and experienced insurance experts creates a unique environment in tech world. Everything moves at Slack speed; when CEO launches a new concept, expect it to be reality within months, not years. Customers love the product and the customer support, more so than any company I've ever worked at; that goes a long way on tougher days. Product workflow is A+; no legacy code or slow upgrades. Merit wins; new team members can make a mark in very short time with solid commitment and delivery of results. Insurance market is huge and in desperate need of innovation, so no worrying about whether market potential is big enough. Founders (CEO and CTO) are both serious geniuses, lead by example, and actually like being with people.
Cons
Two offices on two continents with differing schedules sometimes means a 6-day work week instead of 5. Back office infrastructure (reporting, systems, dashboards) working hard to keep up with growth.
