Has anyone here worked at a start-up?

I'd be interested to know what your experience was like. It could be said that a start-up environment, especially a high-growth one, has a degree of ambiguity and occasional interpersonal demands which might be too much for an autistic worker to handle. On the hand, maybe a company that accepts change as constant and is used to frequent staff turnover might have better procedures in place to ensure smooth onboarding and handovers. What do you think?

At my little start-up, the big problem was not having all the necessary talents on board. Versatility was needed. There was also a steep learning curve everywhere.

Look for a start-up that needs what you have, and has smart management. A lot of places will have people doing jobs badly quite unawares. Some of those people will be entrenched, with fragile feelings; some can be easily displaced. I once got my boss fired for incompetence and lack of experience.
