Pros

Remote work. Onboarding is amazing.

Cons

Most teams get a lot of support. But I’ve seen people get thrown on an island with limited support.

Pros

* Exposure to high-visibility projects and executive-level work * Opportunity to build strong technical and strategic skills quickly * Some talented coworkers who genuinely care about doing good work * Fast-paced environment that can help employees gain experience beyond their title

Cons

* Consistent lack of recognition and advancement for high-performing employees * Employees are often expected to perform far above their pay grade and formal role without promotion or compensation alignment * Leadership communication around career growth feels vague and inconsistent * Burnout is normalized rather than proactively addressed * Workload distribution can feel uneven, with strong performers continuously carrying additional responsibilities * Advancement appears dependent more on politics, timing, or management preference than measurable contribution * Limited transparency around organizational decisions and employee development
