Pros
Trust - Freedom to build an entire department from the ground up the way I wanted. I've been very lucky with CEO's in this area. Resources - I've been given every resource I've asked for, or could show was necessary. Direct CEO Contact and Close Input - The door is always open and help is always available. Kindness - Employees made me feel very welcome, and have helped in many cross functional projects without fail, a "we are all in this together" type start up group in my experience. Many long term employees who "bleed BiSN". Passion - Despite being a larger company now, it still retains start up passion, everyone is expected to go the extra mile when delivering for the customer. Variety - Working with clients who need complex new solutions to their problems every day is very exciting, it never gets boring. Team - My direct team in the UK is a brilliant group of people, a pleasure to work with.
Cons
Onboarding could be improved, I was lucky with my start that I got to go straight to a testing location and see everything in a very hands on way, with rapid learning but this area does need to be improved as the company pushes through to that next level to support the many more employees that will be needed during the growth. Pretty full on busy, there is a lot to do and a big drive in people to get it done, this isn't for you if you are looking to hide or for a cushy job, it's pretty fast paced, demands people have opinions so not for wallflowers or those looking to coast.
