Pros
- Large, secular growth market - A lot of career and growth opportunities - Big, well known customers - Typical trappings of a Silicon Valley tech start-up (flex schedules, unlimited PTO, free meals etc...) This is my third start-up and the growth of Wizeline has been incredible. I have not seen a company accelerate at this speed and it is really exciting. The management team is transparent and as an employee, I have a clear understanding of our goals, revenue and overall company health. You are given room to take risks, identify new revenue opportunities and as an engineer, are able to get a significant amount of face time with clients. The CEO is experienced and cares about building an inclusive culture both in Silicon Valley and in Mexico. The leadership team is experienced and you will work with smart people - across all teams.
Cons
A lot of processes are still being built-out. To me, this is completely normal and mirrors the same experience I had at three other start-ups. You need to be comfortable with change, recognize the growing pains and embrace challenges.
