Fast-Paced, Challenging, and Fun

Pros

There's never a dull moment. If you take initiative, there is always something amazing to do. And generally people are more than happy to step out of the way to let you go enact your vision or jump in to help depending on what you need. Everyone is incredibly friendly, you get free food, the benefits are super cheap (though not free), and the CEO is inspiring. This is a hot place to work- there's no doubt about it.

Cons

A lot of the folks are very inexperienced, and it can be frustrating to come in with experience under your belt and have to watch people make rookie mistakes without being able to jump in and save them from themselves. It's very frowned upon to say "Hey- you're doing this wrong". If you're trying to do something brand new- the sky's the limit. But if you're trying to change an existing system or practice, it can be very challenging to do so while tip-toeing around everyone's feelings. In some ways- it's great to be in a place that's so positive. In some ways it's paralyzing. This is particularly true if you're in the Customer Success department where an army of rookie, poorly trained (But very well-intentioned and hard-working) CSMs are running the show in ways that defy all logic (and their supervisors).
