Vantaggi

Great colleagues - knowledgeable, kind and hard-working. Fast pace, which in the beginning allowed innovation (not so much in past few months). Amazing customers who are enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with.

Svantaggi

I could sum up the cons in one word: Management. Initially, things were good and management worked collaboratively, however, as the company grew, there grew a tense atmosphere with the management openly belittling employees, pushing many people to leave the business. Management behaviour is usually arrogant and immature and they have a limited understanding of the complex subject matter they are working in. Employees are not listened to, communication is stifled and people are forced to silo. There is no progression and little appreciation for talent unless it comes with a HBS badge. The sales approach is worrying, with products sold to customers that are yet to be designed or built. Buzzwords and new releases are prioritised over quality. No dev-time is permitted for fixes or improvements so the CS team do the calculations and patch the data. They market themselves as highly professional and elite, but they're just not. The team are a fantastic group of people, but key is no place to make a career.

Vantaggi

You get to work with smart people in an exciting industry in a well funded startup. You will hopefully learn a lot and it's a good product.

Svantaggi

High turnover caused by poor management. The founders (who are the only senior management) have little SaaS experience and are neither technical nor SMEs in ESG and therefore are unable to appreciate / reward quality work. In fact they actively make you feel small and under-appreciated despite working very hard and producing high quality work (as confirmed by everyone else but them). You are not listened to and it can go days without hearing from them. This creates a stressful environment and low morale eventually leading to people leaving, Most people make it about a year, no one has made it longer than 3. There, sadly, is a massive disconnect between the team and management, larger than I've seen in companies 5x the size. It's frankly just poor leadership and poor people management from people who don't act or seem like tech founders. I hope it improves because there is great potential in the product and company

Vantaggi

Great team and challenging work! Everyone brings a different perspective to figuring out problems and solving them. People are flexible, helpful and thoughtful in their work. We're encouraged to find and use the latest tools available like AI tools. And this is all across the team, not just engineering. You are given a lot of autonomy. Regular socials and off-sites to get to know the team outside of work. Sounds like there were some folks who weren't super happy earlier but things have been different for a while now, in my experience :)

Svantaggi

Can be process heavy at times, but this helps to build clarity and speeds things up usually.
