Pros
The founder's vision is genuine and ambitious, if you care about the problem the company works on, that energy is real and was a big part of why I joined. The work is interesting, and you get broad exposure working across multiple client projects.
Cons
- The blame culture starts at the top. Problems across clients, delivery, and projects consistently landed on individuals rather than on process or direction. - Feedbacks and 1:1s meant sitting down to a list of your mistakes, not a conversation about how to grow. - Criticism, even when explicitly invited, was usually met with defensiveness rather than discussion. - Expected to deliver like a large enterprise company, but without the resources of one. The "startup" framing mostly meant longer hours, to real startup upside. - Turnover in sales and project lead roles appears high.
