Pros
- teaches you to be convincing - get to try many different projects - get to do all sorts of things (photography, videography, graphic design, sales, marketing, relationship management etc) - get to work with amazing talents
Cons
- the company does not know how to manage or retain talents - start projects without any plans, always jumps head first - they start many different projects but everything is either left unfinished or it never saw the light because there are always more important things going on - spends a lot of resources to undo damages that was brought about by poorly planned projects - take advantage of employee's kindness & willingness to work extra hours - keep pushing your limits (in a bad way), when they realized you're at your limit, they start to and continue again later. They just keep trying your boundaries. Trying to squeeze every single willingness out of you - keeps using the sympathy card, so people take pity on them - slow in paying commission, takes 3 months for them to pay if you do not chase - commissions are always calculated wrongly - management team too stubborn to take in any advices. They insist that everything that they do is because of "startup mindset" - they believe in "if you're not breaking things, you're not moving fast enough", when in fact the basics are not even done well and already always breaking - says that they are data-driven but most of the decisions are made based on a gut feeling Overall, the management team is just too young and they have a lot more to learn.
