Ventajas
The primary reason to join or stay at a company is the people. I genuinely enjoy working with everyone at PredictSpring: they're a competent, caring, and friendly group that is committed to doing the right thing. A secondary consideration in joining a startup is the vision. I joined as a repeat founder, and so I have some perspective on this. Investors will tell you that the key to a business's success is vision, and the determining factor there is whether leadership knows their customers better than anyone else. I believe that they do here at PredictSpring. The laser-focus on customer enablement and satisfaction is incredibly gratifying to see, and I think it will take us far. Perks are not my primary concern here, but PredictSpring is very generous with them.
Desventajas
It's a small startup. There are growing pains. We're paying down some technical debt while trying to improve velocity and grow our market-share. The upside here is that the organization is genuinely interested and committed to doing this. I'd also like more collaboration and integration with the organization as a whole (possibly some global chat channels)
