The People Make the Differennce
Pros
Our product solves an actual problem. That simple fact motivates every single member of staff. I will also say that Simbe is very particular about who we hire and a good amount of energy is spent making sure potential new hires are a good culture fit. In doing so, we've assembled a group of LOVELY individuals whom I'm proud to be in the trenches with. I usually tell people that at my previous jobs, I've gotten bored within a year or 2. After 5 years at Simbe, however, my job continues to evolve and keeps me on my toes.
Cons
Startup life can be overwhelming and chaotic. Additionally, the better the company does, the MORE busy we are. So my only recommendation for those who have never worked for a startup: Understand what sort of a work environment you're signing up for.
