Pros
You will get to work alongside smart, young professionals in a up-tempo office environment. Meetings are scheduled on the fly and there's excitement around every corner of the office. You will need to be a talented public speaker to land this role, and you will become an even more skilled thought leader within months after starting. While the company has over 250 employees, it still feels and acts like a start-up. Talent is brought in from all corners of the world, which enriches relationship-building and provides unique perspectives. Plenty of PTO and work-from-home options available, with other NYC-related benefits if you live locally and can take advantage.
Cons
An unpredictable and stressful travel schedule may leave you scratching your head. You may only get 3 days notice to book your flight to go accross the country. Yes, travel is a fantastic perk and privilege, but this job will challenge your work-life balance. Inadequate, infrequent performance reviews leads to confusion amongst you and your colleagues. Lack of personal financial growth is particularly discouraging when you work for a rapidly growing company. You will wonder what value you have when holidays and career milestone pass, but nothing changes.
