Pros

A lot of smart and fun people you get to work with new challenges that push you to grow and develop quickly

Cons

The most political organization I have worked at. Despite having values of debate to great, you need to be careful in expressing any dissent in a path forward, even when it is just related to work. Everyone is stretched thin at all times. Everything will feel urgent all the time, and the answer to that urgency is often to just work harder and do more. You will then be blamed if something is dropped during that time. Teams can often feel at odds with each other and fighting for time and resources

Pros

Impressive client list, access to top AI tools for all, always something to do

Cons

Still a startup and typical tradeoffs with that including unclear communication channels and too many priorities. Can feel political with success sometimes relying on who you know.
