Pros
Shield is a high growth company in the right place at the right time. I have been with shield for 5 years and have experienced over 10x staff growth in this period. Our primary focus has remained practically intact while we have reinvented ourselves multiple times. We keep growing with expanding opportunity, I don't know if the next 5 years will yield another 10x in growth but we are on a good trajectory and I aim to find out. This is not the first high growth startup that I have worked for, and it is a great ride those who seek it.
Cons
Shield is not for all. While it offers great opportunity for growth, it requires top notch effort and commitment from its employees. This suits me well because it also means that I get to work with a bunch of really capable people.
