Pros
We are a new technology entrant into an existing field (LSP), as a result the companies employees are a mix of those used to startups and industry professionals. As a new tech entrant with VC backing we have an opportunity to grow very quickly, AND we HAVE to grow very quickly.

* There has been changeover in the past 12 months; however, that is typical for a company which closed a series C and is preparing to scale. I don’t view this as a pro or a con, just a reality.
** there was a 2 month period where I did have to work much more than a standard work week on a topic that I was not an expert. Leadership was understanding and supportive, never blaming me for errors. Leadership also hired 3 people to help me, and after two months I felt my work life balance had been restored and I had learned a ton about a new topic. It is really unusual for a team of leaders to help an employee get unstuck from a tedious task, thank you.
Cons
-distributed teams makes scheduling meetings difficult accross time zones
