Pros
You get a lot of ownership in your role - you’re expected to think independently and contribute insights that actually influence decisions. There’s strong cross-functional collaboration, so you’re not siloed, and you get good visibility into how the business operates end-to-end.
The work is varied (product strategy, analytics, messaging, trade shows, etc.), which keeps things from getting repetitive. It’s a fast-paced environment, but that also means you learn quickly and can make a noticeable impact. Being on a smaller team also helps - your work is visible and tied directly to results.
Kontras
Things move fast, so priorities can change quickly and make long-term focus a bit challenging. Processes aren’t always clearly defined, so there’s some ambiguity in how work gets done.
