Pros
+ Meritocratic approach to project and team leadership - the best ideas AND execution win over job titles + Company learns quickly from mistakes and fixes them in real time + Phenomenal products that continually defy expectations + Ability to expand work scope beyond initial job title + Unique challenges brought by a combination of a Chinese company going global and introducing a completely new product category to larger markets
Cons
- Company culture is neither easily comparable to anywhere else nor is it clearly defined. Rationale for decisions / priorities feel opaque to new joiners - Processes are constantly changing as the company scales which causes confusion in how to move projects forward - Management is very motivated by proof of success - but these metrics are not always clear at the outset of projects - Constant growth and change is exciting but can be challenging for people who want more clearly-defined structure
