Pros
I've been working for Tushar Atre at AtreNet since 2014, and I've learned so much. I'm really pushing myself to get exposure and business experience. In my first year here, I've been in more big meetings that matter and I've gotten more support from senior members of the AtreNet team than I have at any other time in my career. Tushar is one of the most driven people I've ever met and he puts customer satisfaction over all else. The pace is always hectic, but the launches and wins are thrilling. We're on the front lines every day helping Silicon Valley companies succeed, and that drives our team.
One of the reasons I'm publishing this is because I don't want to see my growing company get a bad rap from a disgruntled former employee. Typically, when people have a bad experience, they are much more motivated to post a review or shout it from the rooftops, whether it's a restaurant, job, or retail experience. There's always challenges with any job, and you have to be ready to give your everything, but the experience and what I'm learning will benefit me and my career in the long-term.
Cons
As with any full-time job, balancing your work and personal life can be a challenge. But you get out of your job what you put into it. There's no way to partially commit or half-ass this job.
