Pros

Good place for aggressive, young and bright people. You can gain a lot of responsibility quickly if you show your potential. Risk takers can be rewarded. Not for the faint of heart, kind of a heartless system. Job security is iffy, but you will learn a lot if you either stay with the company or get bounced.

Cons

Potential is rewarded and cultivated. Older mid-level employees don't seem to fit in the game plan. No pension-401k only. Bonus money for performance is part of the game plan, but rewards that I saw were pretty arbitrary and didn't amount to much. Job security is a problem-steady reorganizations leave a lot of people as odd men out, regardless of past performance. Cut first and hire later if you've over done it seems to be the general principle.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
