Vantaggi
The company has a focus on social impact organisations, charities, and NGOs. I like that my work has a positive impact on the world as a result. We give away a percentage of our profits to charity every year as well. The projects we work on tend to be large and have interesting technical challenges and global outcomes. The other people at SystemSeed are friendly and it feels like I really know them, although there are many who I've not yet met in person (due to COVID travel restrictions). People are generally happy to help answer queries and provide support to one another. Perks include flexible working hours, a high level of autonomy, good holiday allowance, training and development budget, internal team activities (e.g. hackathons). Full disclosure: My brother is one of the two shareholders, and so I report to the other shareholder for my regular reviews etc.
Svantaggi
We're a distributed team so don't have the benefits of all coming together in an office. I miss that sometimes, but colleagues are usually available on Slack/Meet when you need them.
