Pros

- feels good to work in a space that is helping the environment - they don’t do a lot of swag which aligns with sustainability values - onboarding was a breeze

Cons

- leadership literally said to me “we don’t want long term solutions. We want short term solutions.” - middle managers falling over themselves to show value, often in too many lanes, doing too much but showing nothing of value in the end - company still struggling to align on how to measure success, what KPIs to use, and how to use it. Basic math alludes them at all levels. - senior leaders seems lost and winging it. Still around based on pure favoritism and long term relationships with c-suite - c-suite is young and ambitious but does not know what success looks like, hiring the wrong people and strong-arming them into their short-sighted visions - colleagues have been fired due to prioritizing family over work - everything is an emergency but nothing is really moving the needle on establishing a stable foundation - whiplash from failure to commit to any sort of plan constantly kicks up dust and puts everyone in crisis mode

Pros

Strongest team I've ever worked with. Clear line from mission to strategy to execution, and it's a privilege to do the work at the market leader.

Cons

The pace is real. Things move fast and priorities can shift, so you have to be comfortable navigating ambiguity and re-orienting quickly.
