Pluspunten
- Pre-Gartner, it was a cavalry of astute, tireless, incisive kids creating work no one else was (at the time).
- Learning data visualization (I don't mean automation in PowerBI, Tableau, etc.) but rather tailoring data to tell a compelling story for a variety of audiences so they can make informed, data-grounded decisions = this has served me well throughout my career since.
- Still some of the brightest people I met.
- Explicitly bold and streamlined visual identity
Minpunten
- Like most startups, the early adopters were favored significantly by management.
- When they brought the "adults" into the picture as we approached buy-out, they were not vertical-specific, and crucially, as senior employees, didn't feel the need to scour net new sectors. On the client side, this meant those of us who were paid 1/3x were scrambling to mitigate their lapses.
- Clear path to growth was flimsy and under-baked at best.
