Yes, it's a tough startup environment. Yes, it is worth it.
Pros
Rock solid product offerings Top notch co-workers You get to move the needle, for real Very fast paced Opportunity is presented to many people, very frequently. I work in the talent acquisition department. Contrary to other reviews, I began as a contractor, I filled the hard positions and I received and accepted a full time position. Look, recruiting is tough in this market period. Working for a company that has an appetite for the best in breed will be tougher than average. We all know this and accept the challenge. *This is not a secret*
Cons
Top notch co-workers = you must deliver comparably. Hiring managers don't have time to hand hold. You get to move the needle = So, you need to move the needle... All the time. The group is run similar to a sales group, precise productivity speaks more than anything. Work/life balance can get out of line at times. Again - *these things are not a secret*
