Pros

Motivated managers and direct reports.

Flexible work from home or onsite options.

Diverse and driven coworkers.

Challenging and interesting work, constantly putting me in "the learning zone".

Cons

Unexpected layoffs.

Due to hyperspeed growth and a "fail fast" mentality, there is little time to conduct a root cause analysis (RCA) of the success or outcomes of projects, pilots, and sprints.

Advice to Management

Although the layoff blow was felt by 550 of us in Q1 2020, stay the path, consistently ingest and report out how to add value for your STOs, and push yourself and your teams into "the learning zone."
