Pros

-High growth startup with a lot of opportunities to have impactful work. -Very little bureaucracy so your ideas get heard and implemented easily -Fair compensation -Good benefits (medical including Covid cover, dental, optical, pension 401k scheme, etc) -Because you get your hands dirty in the company with so many different projects and skillsets, you grow very quickly and progress in your skill

Cons

-Extremely high turnover! -Very little structure in decision making with the exception of a few great managers -Not employee friendly (long hrs, CEOs can message you at night etc) -Not people centric at all (preference for people to always be churning out work no matter their circumstances. Hard to take leave and even sick days because of that) -Little to no work/life balance depending on what team you're in -Burnout is very common. -Very little room to learn from each other and grow because everyone is focused on delivering and not getting scolded at

Pros

You will get to work with some very talented people and learn from them

Cons

Toxic culture and internal politics. No sustainability in terms of career and Pula hires and fires commercial people quite frequently. Weak HR policy and employees aren't protected against harassment and bullying. No other benefits apart from the consultancy fees.
