Pros

The work is exciting. The company takes big swings, so you're encouraged to think big, and hierarchy is fairly minimal, so if you have a great idea you often get to be the person that runs with it. Clichéd to say, but the people are great. Lots of people to learn from.

Cons

Hard work. The company runs very lean on headcount, and sets very high targets. That means very high output is expected from everyone in the team, at every level, and people have to be willing to pick up projects or pitch in to cover for unforeseen circumstances outside

Cons

Inkitt is a fast-paced start-up with no set playbook. People who love structure and need to be managed and told what to do may find it challenging.

Pros

Inkitt is one of the few places that actually sits between tech and media in a way that works. A manuscript comes in, real reader behavior tells you whether the story has legs, and the team turns that signal into a career for the author. I think about reader retention and narrative pacing in the same conversation now, which I didn't before.

Cons

The flip side is that the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Some weeks you're inventing the process while running it. Energizing if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you don't. Worth being honest with yourself about which camp you're in before signing on.
