Pros
I have been working for 2 years at JobAndTalent and has been an amazing experience in terms of learning and development. I joined just after the university and instead of choosing Mckinsey or Bain I decided for start-up because I wanted to have more responsibility on the projects I worked with and it was the best decision. I was able to manage very relevant projects, have direct relationship with the client and have real impact on the operation. Also I learned a lot from the GM and the senior management, it’s a very flat organization so you are engaging even with the founders of the company in your day to day. I know that there are some negative comments however all of them are from the same former employee that was fired because didn’t meet the expectations. In the end start-up world is not for everyone as it’s challenging and demanding. I am leaving now to pursue my own start-up however I know that I couldn’t have started it without this experience.
Cons
As probably in any other high growth start-up there are communication challenges and sometimes the processes are not 100% clear. However I like that environment because you can stand out and take more responsability if you are hungry enough.
