Pros
- Incredible flexibility in schedule/WFH/PTO - Autonomy to get my work done, my way - Accessible senior leadership - Opportunities to grow with the company, if you're motivated to take more on - Cutting edge products in booming industries (very cool gear) - It's a (surprisingly) small, private company which provides agility and freedom to make decisions that directly benefit customers and internal teams, without worrying about investors or haggling with tons of bureaucracy
Cons
- It's a small company and relies on each employee to be a rockstar that is willing and able to wear a lot of different hats and be spread pretty thin. This practice makes people hard to replace when they leave. Often when someone leaves the company, the existing team splits up their tasks, instead of backfilling the staff member. This leads to tasks and programs being neglected or dropped and puts people at risk of burning out.
