Vantaggi
I did read the negative Glassdoor reviews during my interview process with Handwrytten, so I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. But I'm happy to report that my experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. - Everyone is friendly and professional, and I genuinely enjoy coming to work every day. There's no corporate politics, no office drama - just a bunch of good people working together to make things happen. To me that's the textbook definition of a good company culture. - The compensation is competitive, the benefits are good, paychecks show up on time, and any issues with them are sorted out quickly. As an added bonus, there are some nice office perks, including bagels, donuts and other perhaps-not-so-healthy-but-oh-so-delicious snacks, and a proper espresso machine with a never-ending supply of quality coffee. And I take my coffee VERY seriously. Honestly, I'm struggling to think of anything else I could ask for from an employer. Handwrytten has been a great place to work so far, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
Svantaggi
The only thing some might view as a downside is that Handwrytten is a smaller company. It's not a con for me personally, as I enjoy working in a company where I know everyone. However, it's important to understand that in a smaller company, there might be fewer opportunities for career advancement. In my case, the 'chain of command' is quite short: it's me, my manager, and the CEO. So maybe don't expect a clearly defined path for career growth. That said, the company is growing, so who knows what the future might bring.
