Pros

I really like working for this company, I have great colleagues, we get along very well and it is a very respectful environment. We go to happy hours and get along well, also outside of work. We have the opportunity to participate in trainings and develop our skills in workshops. It is just an very exciting surrounding and you get to work on very interesting projects, when you think about what this company wants to achieve in the US market. The company does cool stuff like free yoga classes, they get you a discounted gym membership, they organize events for the employees,.. Benefits are really not bad at all. Company Car, good Salary. Teamwork is highly encouraged, which is the way to go in my opinion.

Cons

You really can create something here, since so much needs to be developed and implemented - you can leave a footprint with your work, meaning you are responsible for big projects. Does that come with working hard? Yes. But also it is very rewarding when you see what impact you actually do have. Do I sometimes work over hours? Yes, but not everyday / every week. I am responsible for my own projects, so I can decide how I divide my time - very independently.

Manage your time right

Pros

From the beginning I knew this would be something different, something unique, something now-or-never. A startup with money!? Too good to be true. But it is true. You won't ever find a more exciting, beer boring opportunity. See the company grow with your efforts.

Cons

Of course with the strong Pro comes the equally strong Con. It's stressful and time consuming. You really have to manage your time well. It forced me to read about time management in my free time, just so I can handle the amount of work. It helped but others need to learn this too, or you'll be the one catching up for everyone.
