Ventajas
Company hires really best people everywhere, so I, as a product lead, can focus on the product growth rather than project or people management. I have space to try my ideas, frameworks, approaches as long as team and product guild is sharing their craft and experience. Be ready to be challenged by engineers with questions like „Why do we do this feature, and not that? Who are competitors and what are they doing?”. Everyone around are T-shaped, so they do have inputs and also everyone opinion matters. It does not mean you can’t make your decisions, it just means that you have dozens of ideas from different contributors. And idea from content writer has same value as an idea from CEO. Almost forgot: great work/life balance together with faster productivity than you can see in other companies. This is reached by working with mature senior-level experts in the team.
Desventajas
