Vantaggi
There's lots of opportunity to take initiative, and define your own path. The people are great, helpful, supportive, especially as the company is growing they have retained a good culture. Even throughout some of the tougher changes as we grow, the leadership is good at identifying what's important, and making decisions that ultimately benefit the trajectory of the company. That has definitely contributed to me sticking around. Long term vision for the company looks good too. I've worked in several areas since being part of the company. I've learnt a lot, they have helped me grow as both an IC and growing into a manager position.
Svantaggi
Based on previous experience it's the usual growing pains of a startup and scaling up, nothing out of the ordinary. Some long days. It's not for the faint-hearted (could be considered a pro or a con). You need to be able to identify problems, bring solutions to the table, and work to make it happen. For me personally this is great, I can help contribute to how things are being built, and how the processes work. I can see if you need guard rails you may struggle a little.
