Pros
Great mission and purpose-driven work Smart, hardworking colleagues
Cons
Training is minimal. There are no clear workflows. Priorities change constantly- somewhat understandable as a start-up although changes are not consistently communicated crossfunctionally. Product alignment makes the job harder. You will end up managing expectations and putting out fires more than delivering value. Internal support and feedback loops are lacking. Management is inconsistent. Two people can do the same work and get completely different feedback. Favoritism is obvious. Promotions are not based on performance. They are based on loyalty. Don't think about asking for a raise. Micromanagement is constant. You are told exactly how to do things, even when it doesn’t make sense for your accounts. There is no room for feedback. If you speak up, it can/will be used against you. HR/Managers cannot be trusted. Anything you say gets shared back. Many people are put on PIPs. It’s not to help you improve. It feels like a step toward being pushed out. Turnover is high. Burnout is common. Leadership treats it like an individual problem. The company sells a strong vision during hiring. The reality is very different once you start.
