Pros
So many pros! 1- There's a lot of work to do and that's a good thing in my book - it is managed however and you know what targets you need to hit, so you are not overwhelmed 2- Company expects you to manage your own priorities, family first, faith, etc, and has been flexible allowing me to make a schedule that lets me take care of my family 3- We do quarterly performance reviews which helps you get feedback and reflect on what you want to be doing more of 4- Transparent leadership - I've never worked anywhere that is so transparent and so honest - I am probably ruined for the rest of my life 5- You learn. So. Much. About the industry, how startups work, how to grow culture, everything is so transparent and they explain why they are tackling things this way. Expel even had investors come in to tell us how they function which was really fun. 6- They have also hired pros at taking care of our office, having great snacks to keep us fueled, and weekly free lunches (i know sorta a gimme these days but whatever, it's nice)
Cons
1- No 401K match (expected for an early company, but it is what it is) 2- Doesn't feel like there is going to much in the way of career progression for the team I am on - that almost didn't make this list because again - the company has been transparent about that - and wants to help you grow for what you want to do beyond Expel
