Pros: There is a lot of opportunity for impact, with above-median pay. You can get promoted fast if you work hard. The CEO is great.
Cons: High-pressure environment and poor work-life balance. Roles and priorities can feel unclear, and early on there is a noticeable amount of politics around scope and advancement.
