Svantaggi
A fast-paced environment requires wearing multiple hats (though growth opportunities offset this)
Rapid growth means processes are sometimes built while flying the plane
Success here requires self-direction, not ideal for those who need heavy structure
The scale-up phase means some growing pains as we formalize processes
High performance expectations - this isn't a coast-through environment
