Pros
- We're currently undergoing a cultural pivot towards a more ambitious mindset, which I've seen at other companies I've worked for and believe it's crucial for seizing the opportunity ahead of us and driving our long-term success- even if it challenges some comfort zones for those who haven't been at hypergrowth companies before. - I really like that there is significant autonomy and flexibility to manage your own work-life balance- there are periods of intense (but I find really rewarding) work, and yet I also feel like I can take the time I need in order to disconnect or even work from other places at my own discretion. - We have awesome people. My colleagues here are genuinely good, collaborative, supportive, and committed to our mutual success. I don't feel like politics comes into the way of being pragmattic and egos don't get in the way of progress. - Our CEO is one of the most authentic leaders I've ever seen leading our size of company (for anyone who has worked places where this isn't the case, you know how important this is for setting the tone for everything else at a company), and I appreciate that the leadership team is approachable/ happy to get on 1:1s and also open to feedback. - Finally, it's been said in a lot of other reviews, but we have a really strong product and market opportunity. It's nice to be at a company where the product actually delivers tangible value to so many customers. I'm also really excited about the AI wave and genuinely believe there's a huge, untapped potential for us to capture if we move quickly and put in the work needed.
Cons
As is natural with any company embracing rapid growth and strategic shifts, there can be periods of intense focus and evolving priorities. However, the transparent comms from my manager and leadership has helped navigate these changes, and I think it's a testament to our agility/ what will make us successful as a company long-term.
