Fast-paced, dynamic culture where you can really make a difference
Pros
- things get done - surrounded by super-diverse mix of smarties - original founders all still actively involved in the company - passionate CEO not only has business acumen but market foresight - stock options for everyone, not doled out according to favoritism as in other startups - energizing to be part of a company growing its client base, revenue and employee count - you could practically survive on the amount of free food and drink the company provides! - Free medical, dental and vision insurance for employees and highly subsidized family rates
Cons
- "hit the ground running" onboarding style won't work for all - bias toward action sometimes requires refining or revising strategies post-launch - continuous stream of new employees can translate to inexperienced client-facing team members - highly sophisticated internal tools in some areas; technology primitive or lacking altogether in others - odd combination of either way too little or way too much process -- perhaps the latter is overcompensation for the former and is now in need of a little course correction? - no 401k match
