Pros

Working in the hospitality industry and still having evenings/ weekends off. Young, motivated and international team. Helping small businesses be more data driven. Flexible with where you work from (2 months abroad a year) Lots of social events and a close team that becomes a family over time. More responsibility quickly given if you show ability and commitment. Empathetic managers.

Cons

The young team does mean there is sometimes a lack of experience to learn from. No investment in external learning opportunities. Currently a big focus on profit meaning certain costs are held back on (such as travel and office parties outside of the office).

Fun culture, solid pay, achievable goals, nice works perks (free food in the HQ office, unlimited time off). Actually being able to provide constructive feedback to the product team makes the role less monotonous than other roles

Cons

Taking extended time off can be tricky in a performance-based role Can sometimes feel like a support-based role
