Pros
- Talented roster of intelligent colleagues - Solid product - Mid-Level managers and ICs are competent - Executives are productive - Rocketship - Great equity and above average comp
Cons
- Burnout in the pursuit of meeting unachievable expectations set by leaders who don't care about you - All roads lead to 2-3 execs who own every decision - "Did I just join a B2B SaaS company or the Marines?" - If work life balance is in your top 5, don't even sniff it - At times operates like a 50 person company with nearly 1,000 employees - "What is product even doing back there. I never know what they're doing" - Nauseatingly painful growth - Trickle down stress that is palpable regardless of your position - Your manager will go to bat for you until it impedes on their M.O. - Severe lack of empathy and opportunistic culture resulting from pressure - You will frequently consider the pros & cons of: does the pursuit of money outweigh the percentage of my soul which has been sacrificed in its pursuit? - Everyone is afraid and aging faster than a president at wartime
