Pros

You will have the opportunity to see how a company works to scale into a larger company. It is a learning opportunity for those who are coming from established companies. Really great support from teams. People really care. Global teams and learning new cultures

Cons

If you do not want to lift the hood and work on things that are broken or inefficient to see how to make them better, this isn’t the place for you. You have to get your hands dirty and get to work. Because a lot of things in HR are being established for the first time, it can come with a lot of frustrations if you are used to systems and programs being ready off the shelf. Company Leadership likes to promote their own and reward those with long tenure even if they are not experts. This causes a great amount of tension in the company.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and smart people, who unfortunately are leaving.

Cons

Sales and technical teams are not always set up to succeed together, which creates unnecessary pressure on technical teams and contributes to burnout. There is a strong focus on growth, but employee retention does not receive the same attention. Compensation is not always competitive, and career advancement processes can feel inconsistent depending on the opportunities available to you. All approvals run up to founder level.
