Pros
- Product is increasingly deepening its moat and defensibility with GTM focus. The north star is getting clearer and we get to work with many forward-thinking customers who are strong advocates for the platform. - Many smart, capable and hardworking team members, Talent density is high. People are very supportive and willing to help even though there is a lot of context switching/ wearing may hats required in start up and things are busy. - Get to have a lot more ownership, responsibility and fast decision-making than any other place I've worked at. Leadership often backs ideas that will get quick and high-impact outcomes for customers. - Founders are visible and seemingly working at all hours of the day, easy to get a response and input. - Flexible hybrid working, 3 day model is great for deep work at home and seeing people in the office.
Cons
Still figuring out a lot of things in terms of way of working, structured processes and building greater maturity into how we build/ scale as a company. There are some very experienced leaders entering the business, so imagine many improvements will happen over time. Probably not the right place right now for those earlier in their career where a lot of guidance is still required or if you like to wait for permission to do things. The culture is very much 'build and get things out the door quickly, iterate as we go' right now. Oftentimes this means favouring practicality in the short-term, failing fast/ learning fast instead.
