Pros

- Fast-paced and highly rewarding work environment - Ambitious, bias-to-action, and highly supportive colleagues - High degree of ownership and ability to drive own topics; both on the investment front and in building up new initiatives in the company (highly encouraged across all levels of leadership) - High level of variety in tasks and steep (but rewarding) learning curve - One of the very few opportunities in the German VC industry to work in a global team, with global founders, and on global topics. - Leadership does a great job at mentoring and enablement for own personal and career growth

Cons

- Don't expect a "regular" job here; VC is a fast-moving industry and daily plans can change quickly and require high resilience and focus - High ownership and encouragement to drive initiatives + the nature of VC can blur work-life boundaries

Pros

+ Basically uncapped autonomy and room for growth; you can keep asking for as much responsibility and autonomy as much as you keep delivering + Small and flat team; no hierarchies or bureaucracy + High talent density: since day 1, Picus has focused on getting world-class talent; expect brilliant & caring colleagues + Rising star fund, with ability to play a key role in shaping the trajectory of the company in US + Cover the entire investor lifecycle: get coverage of deal's entire lifecycle - from first call to portfolio mgmt

Cons

- Coordinating across time zones given global teams (Europe, Asia), can create funny working hours
