Pros

It's the perfect blend of challenging, motivating and rewarding. Since I started, I've had the ability to work with amazing talent while diving head first into a variety of exciting projects. The company lives what we preach, so OKRs are how we run our day-to-day. Everything is transparent. This means everything, the wins, the struggles, and the losses. We hold each other accountable and work cross functionally to support and directly impact annual and quarterly goals. We are one giant team, operating in smaller tactical groups to get things done quickly. It's about building a piece, or making even a small impact every day. As a team, we strive for continuous improvement. This is not at all negative, but instead periodic reflection to step back and validate the "why" behind what we do, and how we can make processes, meetings, projects, approaches and the product more efficient.

Cons

We are empowered to remain focused, but start up life breeds endless distractions, so walking the balance of what to spend your time on is a struggle everyone faces daily.
