Startup pace is intense. Priorities shift fast, and you need to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you like a tidy playbook that never changes, this will frustrate you.
Process is catching up to growth. Things are improving, but some tooling and internal handoffs still feel early-stage. You may have to build your own structure for a while.
Cross-functional load can be heavy. CSMs sometimes cover gaps like project management, light solutioning, or support triage during peaks. It’s good for learning, but can stretch you.
Product expectations are high. Because customers are regulated financial institutions, the bar for reliability, documentation, and security reviews is intense. Great for quality, but can slow things down.
