Pros
The opportunity here is massive if you're willing to put your hand up. Within a few months I was travelling, meeting teams in other countries, and working on projects that pushed me outside my comfort zone, but I had the support to bring them to life. Also, there are a lot of smart, experienced people around you, but very little ego. If you need advice or feedback, people are so generous with their time. So I've learned a huge amount since joining. And overall, the Auckland team is really just fun to be around and there's always something happening at the office: we've got morning bagels, Thursday drinks, various team events, dogs wandering around. The flexibility is fantastic too: the work-from-anywhere policy is one of my favourite benefits, and because the office is actually great, you end up having real choice about how you work.
Cons
It's a fast-moving environment with lots of opportunities, which is great, but it also means it's easy to take on too much. I've definitely had moments where I've felt stretched.
