Pros

Many great colleagues are trying to help; a lot of opportunities to learn and grow because the company is growing fast.

Cons

Product org is the most powerful org in the company. GTM teams often try to safeguard their territory, creating more politics than collaboration. Many mid-management are spending more time thinking about politics than doing real work, leaving much necessary work undone. Everybody knows about those problems, but nobody is trying to change, or even if they try, the obstacle is too large.

Pros

Employees are encouraged to explore AI and automation tools, which creates strong opportunities to build future-relevant skills and experiment with process improvements beyond traditional role boundaries.

Cons

There can be a strong culture around visibility and perception here. In practice, employees often learn that highly visible work tends to carry more weight in performance and compensation discussions than work happening behind the scenes. It creates an environment where people naturally optimize for exposure rather than long-term process improvement. For prospective employees, especially those who prefer impact-driven work over visibility-driven work, It's worth thinking carefully about whether this environment aligns with your working style and career expectations.
