CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Great transparency. + Employees are encouraged to challenge things they see in order to make them better without egos seen at a lot of high-growth companies. + Exciting and fast-growing industry. + Great customers. + Big focus on personal development to achieve your career goals. + Great team culture where people take ownership of their roles and jump in to help one another. + Smart and talented coworkers.

Cons

- Fast growth so some details were skipped that now need to be fixed, such as building processes and foundations for some programs. - Long hiring process (it's good for ensuring high quality talent, but can take a very long time to get someone onboard)
