Learned a lot in 2.5 years of employment. Developed skills, moved up the ladder, met a variety of people and good work colleagues and great connections along the way.
Cons
Only downside was pay wasn’t as high as other companies at the time, but at the same time - you got free training for management in a large hectic start up, gave you the skills to manage and earn more outside of the companu.
