Pros
challenging, stimulating, keeps you busy and you can take on various projects even outside of your scope. time flies here (good or bad) and there is always exciting stuff on the calendar. top talent and truly a revolutionary product backed by a great mission statement. everyone is enthusiastic and ambitious.
Cons
constant change (both good and bad), often undermining or contradicting previous efforts and not isolating factors to ensure evolution is going in a productive direction. every minute of every day is overbooked and you often feel behind and like your effort to keep up is futile. departments are short handed so you're doing stuff out of your expertise, discouraged from slowing pace by saying no to things, and dont have all the resources or bandwidth to do your best work. lack of delegation keeps us from scaling and leadership can be big blockers on moving things forward efficiently and overly involved or scrutinizing of minute areas. you need to be a very special kind of person fully devoted to career and indifferent to challenges or you will absolutely flop in this environment.
