Pros
The implementation role at Increff threw me into the deep end on Day 1, and looking back, that was exactly the right call. I was managing client go-lives for major fashion brands within my first six months. The complexity — coordinating between engineering, ops, and demanding enterprise clients — forces you to grow up fast as a professional. I made mistakes, and the leadership here responded with coaching rather than criticism. What I carry with me from Increff is a combination of technical depth and client-facing confidence that I simply couldn't have built anywhere else this quickly. The product is genuinely excellent, which makes the work easy to be proud of. The team I worked with was close-knit and supportive, and the exit process was handled with professionalism and warmth that I didn't take for granted.
Cons
Frequent travel to client sites comes with the role — works brilliantly for some, less so for others.
