Pros
Fast-paced environment with opportunities to take ownership early on. You can get exposure to end-to-end work and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams. If you’re proactive, there are chances to move quickly and ship work.
Cons
Long hours and effort are not always recognized or rewarded. Leadership lacks experience in people management, with many managers being early in their careers and new to managing teams. This often results in inconsistent expectations and, at times, a lack of respect in communication. Promises around growth and progression were not always followed through, which made it difficult to build long-term trust. While there is an emphasis on ownership, the overall team culture does not always support or recognize meaningful impact.
