Pros

You do get the freedom to work on areas you like. (mostly, i.e after you have help put out fires) - The new CEO is nice so far, glad the old one left. Everything they say about them in the comments is true.

Cons

- Super Immature Product and "chairman" - Scrappy even after what 7 years? - Lies about Profitability - Delusional middle managers

Pros

Genuine ownership culture — you're not fighting for permission to ship. Small team means you touch everything from strategy to customer calls to regulatory conversations. Leadership is accessible and gives you real problems to solve, not busywork. If you want to build something from scratch in a regulated space, this is a rare place to do it.

Cons

Small company growing fast means priorities shift quickly and you're often wearing multiple hats whether you signed up for it or not. Resources are tight — you'll do things that would be someone else's job at a bigger company. Can feel like you're building the plane while flying it, which is energizing until it isn't
