Pros

Strong leadership; Leading player with top product in the market; Work with the best in the industry; Company invests in you; Not too much bureaucracy; Agile, modern, good tooling, and a good mindset.

Cons

Approaching IPO has started to deteriorate the culture.

Hypergrowth started to damage the culture.

The company is taking risks with diversification, which is not a con per se, but expect to have to adapt every day in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment.

Advice to Management

Fight for our culture, principles, values and healthy work environment as we grow. We understand that to be at the top we need to be the best, but when that mixes with unreasonable demands, you are not leading; you are losing credibility.
