Pros and Cons of Working in a Start-up

Its been more than one year now working for Vegayan Systems, a start-up in IIT B, Mumbai.

Some times, One Year seems to be very big, but some times, I feel, its OK.Here, I came up with few points about working in start up companies. I am both In(70%) and Out(30%) for working for a start up.

The Advantages, I find are

1. Scope to learn Work(as much as you can - there is no point that, you are not given any work, especially in product development companies)

2. Chance to learn about Resource Management. Team will be small, so you see how they are handled.

3. Growth factor - Here also, willing to learn plays major role.

4. Ownership of module - You are given a module, You are sole proprietor of module. You are free to design in whichever way you like, as long as you are good enough to make people to buy your design.

5. You develop more than one skill in a start up and you become master in your specialization.

6. Better rapport with team members as team is small.

The cons are

1. Getting a Leave every now and then is Tough.

2. Have to Google for many things.

3. Some times, get bugged with work.

Note: The Opinions I mentioned here are of mine, no way relevant to my employer's.
