Pros
- Really great CEO who is both a visionary with tech and people minded (this is rare) - Employees who interviewed me all seem engaged and understand both the challenges ahead and the opportunities - Seems like there is a good amount of focus on getting communication and culture right - Almost everyone who interviewed me seemed really professional (this is not exactly my experience with other start up interviews) and an expert in their area
Cons
- Seems like there are a couple of identified challenges for growth to the next level. Challenges didn't seem insurmountable and there was surprisingly open dialogue about it (that was actually impressive- that level of awareness at all levels that I spoke to) but some of the staff seem to not have gone through change and scaling stages before. Those staff in particular seemed either spooked or maybe not up for the challenge of dealing with the growth issues that come when startups are tested before the next level. This may be a short term challenge for culture building but not necessarily a long term issue if they don't make it into an identify crisis and just deal with it as part of the growth patterns that come with the territory.
