Vantaggi
The word that came up the most in my interview process was collaboration, and I have seen this in my first 3 months on the team. I truly enjoy working with every cross-functional partner. Also, even though there are many long-tenured folks on the team, there is a strong culture around documentation, which I deeply appreciate as it makes it so much easier to learn. I also very much appreciate the leadership at this company -- the strategic direction is the clearest I've ever experienced in my tech career.
Svantaggi
Compensation is not very competitive with the industry my product competes in, specifically with a lack of stock options or ESPP, which have been typical throughout my tech career. It's also the first time in 8 years I don't have unlimited vacation (which has its pros and cons). But given where I am in my career, I was willing to make this trade-off. However, we may struggle to attract top talent in the future.
