Pros
It was a place that really felt like family and we were all very close and good friends. I still have close friends from the company that I am in touch with even now. There was no hierarchy and access to leaders and managers was easy. Growth was self-defined and irrespective of age, background or experience there were growth opportunities for you. Super fast paced, agile, informal and fun place to work!
Cons
Management structure, comp structure etc was not very clear and during growth phase, a lot of bad managers ended up leading teams. Compensation was not well structured and was imbalanced towards brand-name hires and experienced professionals. Overall team is very good at hustle, hacks, and speed but very little coaching on business fundamentals, structure, strategic thinking, etc which are valuable in the future. Was a very aggressive team, especially in sales, and hence not for the faint hearted. Long hours, no work life balance, we used to work Saturdays as well.
