Pros

Lot of opportunity for impact. Above-median pay. Can get promoted fast if you work hard. CEO is great

Cons

High-pressure environment and poor work-life balance. Roles and priorities can feel unclear, and early on there’s a noticeable amount of politics around scope and advancement. Culture can be toxic. People are often stressed and stretched thin, which leads to passive aggressive communication and blame shifting
