The Reality.. Fast-Moving, Exciting, but Sometimes Overwhelming
Pros
Fast-paced and energizing environment: If you enjoy variety, momentum, and new challenges, you’ll never be bored. There’s always something interesting to work on. Great place to grow quickly: The speed of change creates a lot of opportunity to take on new responsibilities, lead initiatives, and stretch your skills. Ideal for people who thrive in ambiguity: If you’re someone who likes building as you go, experimenting, and figuring things out in real time, you’ll feel right at home.
Cons
The pace can be overwhelming: Change happens constantly, and things move so quickly that teams rarely get a moment to slow down or recalibrate. Lack of structure during transitions: Processes, succession planning, and handoffs lag behind the speed of the work, which can create confusion or gaps. Workload is often redistributed, not reduced: Projects rarely pause, even if team headcount is cut in half; instead, responsibilities shift quickly from person to person, which can make the workload feel heavy. Compensation is not adjusted no matter how many times workload is. Hard to maintain institutional knowledge: With frequent changes and shifting priorities, important context and processes can get lost unless teams are very intentional about capturing it. 5-days in-office: In 2025, the CEO announced a shift from 3 days in-office to 5-days. This change was presented without real reason other than the CEO believing it was the right choice to increase collaboration.
