High Growth, Great People - Finance & Strategy Underdog Employee Review

Leaders are unusually willing to bet on new ideas and give individual engineers room to drive things end to end. They are also genuinely competent operators who know how to navigate a complex regulatory landscape, and they've proven time and time again that they're not afraid to make bold calls to help the company succeed. The bar for coworkers is high but the culture is collaborative. It is easy to get unblocked and easy to find people who care about the craft. Ownership is real. If you scope a problem well, you can move fast on it. The surface area to make an impact across the org is larger than at most companies this size.

Pace is fast and scope can sprawl, especially in roles that span multiple functions. Work-life balance is largely self-managed. There is always more to do than time to do it, so setting limits is on you. Takes a certain type of person to work here.

Fast-paced environment that offers employees a lot of ownership, and the opportunity to leverage all of the newest AI tools. It's really awesome to have the freedom to learn how to use these tools in an age where AI is moving so quickly. Add to it, a great sports culture - whether it be chatting about that weeks games, or attending games at company offsites, it's a unique opportunity to work at a sports company. Most people are really kind, and there are a lot of smart leaders across the org that do an excellent job of coaching by giving you a sense for what the end goal is, and gives you the freedom to figure out how to solve the problem(s).

Moving fast means processes are still being built out in real time. If you need a lot of structure or defined playbooks, you'll have to help create them. Similarly, roles can shift as the company evolves. You need to be comfortable with change and figuring things out without a lot of hand-holding. Lastly, with teams spread across time zones, async communication is a must. Not for everyone if you prefer tight in-person collaboration. It can also be a bit isolating the first few weeks of onboarding when you don't know anybody, but everyone is really welcoming and a month or two you'll feel well integrated.
