Pros
You own it, no powerpoints or politics/bureaucratic approvals that get in the way. Logistics is fast twitch so there are always quick wins to celebrate. Very rewarding to hear customer success stories through the transparent NPS program. High talent density, I always feel like I am the bottom 50% on smarts and competency in my peer group. Get out what you put in... we focus on the what and how so be good at the what you do and how you do it and the sky is the limit if you’re patient
Cons
The work requires a lot of mental and emotional resilience. Don’t join if you are not intrinsically motivated by the mission or something very materially true about the company such as working with good well intentioned people or the company culture. For ops team, it is still operations and real world hand to hand combat so be ready for some tough days in exchange for the excitement and professional opportunity that (2-4x YoY) growth creates. If you want to sip espresso and have philosophical discussions all day then this is not the place. If you want to get it done no matter how mundane or complex and be on a great team within a highly motivating environment, then this is the place for you... still time for a philosophical discussion here and there just not all the time :)
