Pros

Lots of ownership of projects - able to learn and grow Most people here are really good at what they do, they are also kind and willing to help out one another Unlike quite a few of our competitors, we freezed hiring early and avoided layoffs - thanks to management for providing this level of job security There is room to grow, but it largely depends on your direct supervisor

Cons

Like most startups, we are susceptible to investor sentiments and have to pivot when called to, even when it deviates from the previously aligned goal, sometimes roles are created because they see a use case but has not been properly validated -> Lead to discrepancy when it comes to compensation since they are based on OKRs eventually A lot of adhoc tasks that pop up along the way - even though they are not in BAUs or OKRs, we are still expected to attend to them immediately which can be quite disruptive to the workflow A lot of first time managers getting promoted, there is work being done to guide them but is it really effective is another thing altogether.

Pros

There was a lot of work to be done, and new management

Cons

When I was there, unfortunately there was a very toxic employee who gained the trust of leadership- I understand she has since left the company.
