Looks good on the resume
Svantaggi
I noticed that they were actively hiring and felt compelled to write a review. - I worked at Andela for two years and met some great people. You could not find one person who has good things to say about the company. - Ask them if there is anyone at the company who's been promoted? There isn't - Ask them who has worked with them for longer than a year? A couple, mostly executives - Ask them how many people have been fired/left Andela these past two years? Hundreds, during my time there were at least 5 mass firings. - Ask them how many people in the sales team are hitting quota? Maybe one or two out of dozens. - Ask them what is the average tenure at Andela? A few months... This company is a black hole. I've seen dozens and dozens of young, bright, and motivated workers slowly wither and die at this company. The happiest day for everyone at Andela was the day they either got fired or quit. Marketing is terrible, sales culture is depressing, the engineers are unhappy (the product) and get paid horribly. Don't be fooled by the good reviews, during my first few months the team was asked to write positive reviews to bump up the score. Things are hard with COVID and people need jobs I understand. But there are a lot of great companies to work for and this isn't one of them. Ignore the 100 million funding, it's been years and there are still not profitable.
