Pros
- high growth, ecommerce industry seriously taking off and solid product to lead the market - great culture and you can literally strike up a conversation with anyone in the hallway with pure ease; everyone is eager to learn and obsessed with growth mindset - making it a massive asset when you run ideas with other like-minded, highly entrepreneurial hustlers - perks and benefits are topnotch
Cons
- can get too comfortable as org gets more mature and roles become more specialized. People coasting by and enjoying perks is fine.. but there's potential for the org to lean into mediocrity as org gets increasingly larger and leadership direction isn't the most clear - awkward teenager phase refers to the stage business is in. It's going through the peak of puberty and there's a lot of confusion...and frustration.. as one would imagine of a teenager growing up. We're no longer a startup but many parts of the org still operate that way.. with little alignment across the chain - career path progression is unclear often times, and it's entirely up to you to find your adventure and be creative/ entrepreneurial
