Pros
-It's a fast-growing startup with good funding - lots of opportunities to build, and you're never bored -Truly a UK-based company with key decisions made in London, not California or NY -Growth opportunities abound; you regularly see people growing within the company to leadership roles -With the company in a critical growth phase, all your work has impact -Great teammates - my team is humble, smart, and kind -CEO is engaged and leadership has made efforts to build a transparent, accountable culture -Good work/life balance despite the fast pace of work
Cons
-Given it is young and has grown so fast, the company sometimes operates in an unstructured way, which can be frustrating if you're used to more structure/stability -Culture is still coalescing and there can be vast differences between teams' cultures, sometimes making collaboration difficult -Some people in key roles with more of a consulting/I-banking background - smart folks but the company really needs people who can execute at this critical stage; on the other hand, some of the people who've been excellent ICs have not been equipped to manage and are just mediocre leaders
