Pros

I was lucky enough to join Stackla as its first U.S. team member, back when they were a very small company. I was still pretty green at the time, coming off a sales manager position at another start up, and was given the opportunity to build a go to market team for our entry to the U.S.... That took a lot of faith, going both directions, but if you get to know the founders, you will see why it was an easy decision. They are about as real as it gets. I am now coming up on my fourth year anniversary at the company, and in my time I have been lucky enough to work across sales, bd, cs, and operations. I have learned to manage folks globally across multiple lines of the business, I have been continuously challenged to learn new skill sets, and have had the opportunity to work in multiple regional and global markets. I have seen the business grow from selling SMB's to the worlds leading companies, and our product become best in category, best of all.... the majority of the people we were lucky enough to have join us along the way, are still here, and many of them have advanced into new roles, regions, and areas of responsibility into our business. What better professional experience can you have then seeing your employees become managers, your customers become advocates, and the business grow across multiple lines of revenue. Like I said, its the best job I ever had.

Cons

For me, there are no cons. My goals have always been to work with a diverse group of people (Sydney, London, USA.. check)... Work on building a business (massive year over year growth... check)... Be given trust and autonomy in my role (check) Be continuously challenged with new opportunities... (check) Work in an environment that values transparency, and actively rejects ego.... (check).

Pros

The people and culture here is amazing. I love that I can be myself and not worry about politics and feel appreciated for the work and energy I put in. Everyone is very supportive and pushes each other to do the best. The product is constantly evolving to prove value in the market. The team works very hard we're a start up but Work/life balance is expected and everyday we are learning together and it really has that tight knit family feel. Stackla probably is my favorite job thus far. A lot of people boast about culture and transparency at their company but very few actually live up to it. The vetting process for culture fit here is very strong, they want to make sure everyone is a good fit, no jerks here! Honestly if you can laugh, goof around and be yourself at a job while learning and being challenged and inspired everyday, what more can you ask for?

Cons

Communications throughout the team can be difficult due to different time zones and no conference app is perfect. It's a start up so there is a lot of scaling and pivoting. But if you can't handle the pressure and hard work that comes along, maybe start ups isn't for you. People come in early and stay late because there is A LOT of work to do
