      Pros

      Team members were the only reason I kept showing up.

      Cons

      The ceo has got to step away. He does not care about his employees that help build his company. There is 0 culture here and senior people are leaving in droves.

      High performance culture, real opportunity for growth

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great opportunity for folks looking to learn and grow in scope, if you're willing to take ownership and drive results - Mission-driven company - truly inspiring to be able to work at a company that has such a large impact on early childhood education - Supportive leadership and ample room for growth - have been able to move from an IC to building out a team, as a result of delivering solid value and through support from my manager/leadership team - Working with some of the smartest folks I know - constantly learning, stretching and challenging each other in the best way possible - True growth - brightwheel is growing at a rapid clip, and with that comes many opportunities to learn, grow and have outsized impact

      Cons

      Very fast pace - because we're a rapidly growing startup, priorities can change quickly. You need to be able to adapt to change easily in order to succeed High degree of ambiguity - again, because we're a rapidly growing startup, we are solving for and building many things for our customers/internally for the first time. You need to be willing to roll up your sleeves and take a high degree of ownership
