Vantaggi
respectful culture, open to change, always learning, fun. Intent looked after it's employees and there was a good work life balance. You were trusted to be productive, not busy. It was the best place I'd worked so far in my career and I'd hoped to spend many more years there, but unfortunately 2020 was a mess and intent needed to shed a few employees to weather the storm. Richard, the CEO, was always approachable and took time to get to know his employees. During the beginning of the pandemic he was very honest with how various outcomes would impact the company, and they put in place measures to safeguard employees very early on.
Svantaggi
onboarding tricky due to time zone difference between offices, needed clearer processes and fewer meetings. Eggs all in one basket in terms of vertical (2020 plan was to move into other verticals but then the pandemic happened). I had to tolerate one 'brilliant jerk' but then again, there's usually one in most work places!
