Pros

The fast pace keeps you on your toes, ensuring there's never a dull moment. It's a great place to learn and adapt quickly. Teamwork and collaboration are core values. It's fantastic to work with people who are passionate about their roles and always willing to lend a hand. The best part is the flexibility in work hours and remote work options; it makes achieving a work-life balance more manageable. It's great for those who value autonomy. And, of course, FW offers growth potential. You get to wear multiple hats and take on responsibilities you might not find in a larger organization.

Cons

The unpredictable nature of startups can be challenging. The same is the case with FW. The company's fast-paced culture and, accordingly, change in priorities could create anxiety for some. Work-Life Balance: While flexibility is a pro, it can also lead to blurred lines between work and personal life, making it essential to set boundaries. The fast pace and ambitious goals may lead to long working hours at times, which could be demanding.

Pros

The salary was livable, I guess. Office location was fine.

Cons

The main issue is that priorities shifted constantly — like, you'd start work on something, get halfway through, and suddenly it's not important anymore and now you need to pivot to something else that wasn't even communicated until that moment. Expectations were never clear from the start, and I'd get completely different direction week to week, which honestly gets exhausting. You'd spend time building systems based on what management swore was critical, then find out they'd decided on a totally different approach and nobody bothered looping you in. There's no way to do solid work when requirements change every five seconds and half the time you're finding out after you've already committed time and energy. I watched several other people leave for the exact same reason, so it's not just me being frustrated — it's a real pattern.
