Pros

Some of the most talented, driven people you will ever work with. You are given opportunities to own problems and projects that would usually require an extra 10-12 years of experience to own at another company.

Cons

Limited communication from senior leaders results in confusion and challenges with mid level managers. Lack of established process is both exhilarating and difficult and can result in two similar areas of the business operating very differently.

Pros

Big ideas are always welcome. Work for an amazing company that is pushing our world forward. Exciting opportunities to work with dedicated and driven people.

Cons

Rapidly changing job responsibilities. No set work hours- meaning you will be contacted at all hours of the day and night and expected to work at that time.
