Pros
Only a week in, but the contrast with where I came from is already stark. Things that used to take weeks — legal reviews, eng tickets, cross-functional sign-offs — move fast here. Not because corners get cut, but because the culture is genuinely collaborative and the systems support it. No red tape, no hierarchy tax on every decision.
Everyone I've worked with has been kind and respectful without it feeling performative. There's a mutual respect that's hard to articulate but easy to feel. I have real ownership over my channel — I can make decisions, move quickly, and be accountable for outcomes. That's exactly the kind of environment where good work actually gets done.
Cons
Only a week in but nothing I can think of so far -- except the water dispenser is painfully slow :)
