Pros

The product is competitive and I think it's the future for fighting Fin crimes. The business may be quite successful on PLG alone. There are some great people doing phenomenal work. The pace of work is competitive to growing a successful business but not overwhelmingly stressful. I think leadership means well but is too inexperienced to understand their decisions and commands are inconsistent and steer certain employees in the wrong directions from OKR's.

Cons

This business is not well ran. There's a lack of planning, resources and consistency. Nothing is done without the CEO's approval. Micromanagement and lack of empowerment are huge components to the high employee churn across teams. The best teammates have left and continue to leave the business because of this. There is no board or accountability for an inexperienced executive team and it's causing a lot of thrashing in what our product is and where the companies resources are going. This means there's a lot of pointless and dead end work being done across all teams- worse yet employees are being fired or blamed for this as a result.

Pros

Genuine ownership culture — you're not fighting for permission to ship. Small team means you touch everything from strategy to customer calls to regulatory conversations. Leadership is accessible and gives you real problems to solve, not busywork. If you want to build something from scratch in a regulated space, this is a rare place to do it.

Cons

Small company growing fast means priorities shift quickly and you're often wearing multiple hats whether you signed up for it or not. Resources are tight — you'll do things that would be someone else's job at a bigger company. Can feel like you're building the plane while flying it, which is energizing until it isn't
