Pros
The collaborative atmosphere is one of the standout features here. Working across the legal, finance, accounting, tax, HR, and business teams has been genuinely enjoyable. There's a real sense of teamwork, mutual support, and empathy that makes difficult and complex projects much more manageable. The work itself is intellectually stimulating with a dynamic pace of change that keeps things interesting. There is also a genuine emphasis on leadership development. The public company structure also brings certain advantages in terms of transparency, established processes, compensation, and career development opportunities that might not be found at smaller private companies.
Cons
Although these are strong "pros" for me, working in the tech industry and at a publicly traded company isn't for everyone. If you prefer predictability and routine, depending on the function, the dynamic environment might feel uncomfortable compared to other types of companies.
