Pros

Strong entrepreneurial mindset with real ownership and autonomy. Leadership encourages initiative, creative problem-solving, and building new ideas from the ground up. Great environment for self-starters who want to make an impact.

Must be quick on your feet! Priorities may shift quickly, requiring comfort with ambiguity and rapid change.
