Pros
  • Access to problems at large organizations, which is rarely available to individuals early in their career.

  • Working with a bunch of people who are dedicated to their craft and/or passionate about the mission.

  • Insane amounts of autonomy and flexibility - trust, once earned, is nearly limitless.

Cons
  • Hard for newcomers to navigate the organization. There are few titles/ladders, and it's not clear what opportunities are available.

  • Occasional dependence on superhuman efforts. Occasionally, individuals need to carry weight that really should fall on a whole team of people.

Advice to Management
  • Keep up the good work so far!
  • Interrogate practices that work at one scale to make sure they keep working after 1.5X growth.
