Pros

Lightyear meets the external picture of a truly fast growing and successful startup. No two days are the same and there are things happening continuously. I love most that when I reflect on where we were 12 months ago, 2 years ago etc you see the radical improvements as the race to scale inline with growth continues. The other major plus is the team: Experienced, smart and culturally a great place to work.

Cons

It's not for everyone, it's truly busy, many things don't have owners or processes and you need to optimise your own workflows, relentlessly prioritise and continuously solve things/play whack a mole or the backlog of stuff will pile up.

Pros

The team is extraordinary. Every single person who is working in the company is personally aligned with the company goals. People truly want to improve the investing experience in the world. So many things to learn, very fast phase. All the time something new is happening, which also keeps people motivated.

Cons

Very fast phase, but its all up to you to keep up with the phase.

Pros

Innovative company, great coworkers. The pace is fast, people want to get things done, and there are a lot of moving parts. Ambition is very high, and I like it. Clear mission.

Cons

Some processes are still maturing, so you should be comfortable with ambiguity and willing to define your own scope.
