Vantaggi
Leadership actually walks the talk. The founders are still in the weeds with the team, not just sending motivational Slack messages from a corner office..
When you find a better tool, leadership actually lets you use it. Brought up a new platform in a team meeting once and had approval to test it within a week.
You can learn here without having to fight for it. Courses, conferences, certifications - if you make a case, leadership tends to say yes.
Weird ideas even get a hearing. Not every one lands, but nobody gets "shot down" in a meeting for suggesting something outside the playbook.
My manager actually wants me to get promoted. Had two internal moves in three years and both times my boss was the one who pushed for it.
Svantaggi
The single-industry is great. But learning supply chain quickly is a requirement. It requires some self study to get up to spped fast.
