• Really challenging tech environment. You will be working with (mostly) new technologies, and the engineering org is emphasizing paying back tech debt quickly.

• Smart and driven colleagues. Probably the first company I worked at that I enjoy talking and working with my immediate colleagues.

The company is growing really fast, and the goals are growing maybe even faster. This is leading to burnout at some points and this seems to be a company-wide issue.

Leadership is aware but seems to think "have an extra day off" once in a while to be a magic solution, but it's not. My tip is to communicate your borders early and regularly. You need to take care of yourself in such an environment or you will get sucked up in a burnout feedback loop.

Goals need to be grounded in reality with the fact that most of your workforce is now probably new employees today.

You need to slow down a bit and allow everyone to catch up.
