Pros

Fast paced, scale-up atmosphere, great mix of experienced and new talent. Leadership cares about employees (really). I have been places where it's only lip-service. Exceptional talent in all functions of the organization and all levels. Growing companies create outstanding career progression opportunities.

Cons

It's a scale-up. There is still a lot of building and process defining/maturing to do. Fast pace and demanding at times. It runs in cycles.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
