Pros
  • There's opportunity to contribute across technologies and throughout the stack.

  • There's an unreal level of transparency in terms of business health and management outlook that truly makes you feel like the owner you are.

  • The noticeably high level of business awareness & eagerness to achieve customer happiness regardless of role is really motivating; the sense of ownership is palpable.

  • The excitement of a startup & quick iteration with the stability & resources of a company backed by big players.

Cons

Some groups are faced with demands that exceed available bandwidth for the team size, affecting work/life balance; management has acknowledged this and is making sincere efforts to rectify.

Advice to Management

As we grow, our culture will no doubt change as will the way you communicate and inform your team. I hope that you're able to maintain the same transparency and openness while at the same time hiring the kind of people that see & respect the value that this adds to the business.
