Pros
Everyone I work with is very ambitious, kind, and talented! We move quickly, and the work feels rewarding. Despite this place being a fintech startup, the in-house marketing team here serves an important function and the CEO is very invested and involved in our processes. A lot of opportunity and room to grow, and I appreciate that we can experiment with different tactics and take creative risks on my team. Love the office location, so much good food nearby, our kitchen is always stocked with snacks, and we regularly get catered breakfasts, pastries, and lunches in the office which has been lovely.
Cons
There are many moving pieces at any given time, timelines are always being moved around, pushed, and pulled forward, so it can often feel like a continuous sprint. Both a pro and a con is that it's very scrappy. We're building the plane as we're flying it, and there's a lot of opportunity to define a new process and try things out to make our internal workflows more efficient. However, that in itself can be burdensome at times and slow down the team.
