Pros

Great place to grow quickly if you are confident and effective at working independently. Very collaborative and minimal politics below the executive ranks. Great global group of talented people.

Cons

Company runs ridiculously lean, systematically under investing in every function. It has big ambitions but does not commit resources or make trade offs necessary to fully achieve the vision. People regularly face gaps between management expectations and what is realistically achievable with resources invested. To survive and succeed, people must continually work long hours and skillfully triage their work. With almost no backup or redundancy, PTO can often be disrupted. Very high stress working to keep up in an understaffed organization. Continuous reorganization is a way of life so difficult to find stability in processes, key interfaces or performance expectations.
