Pros
1. Extreme leverage and ownership of the problem in your role & beyond -that gives an outsized compounding impact. This role is - "if you see it, fix it" energy. 2. You are at the forefront of the AI - creation & adoption. 3. Travel as an industry, after COVID, is an upward trend. And, Headout is one of the fastest-growing companies to be part of. 4. Learning density is insane in a central role; you work with 15+ market teams at once. One quarter here teaches what two years at any other company would. 5. Culture & people is genuinely the strongest part. This is what keeps you here. Leadership actually cares about yours & everyone growth within the company.
Cons
Cross-functional influence runs on relationships, not processes. Getting things done across teams depends on hustle and timing. Good for natural influencers, harder for everyone else.
