Vantaggi
Great people and culture. International environment and open - minded attitude, autonomy, agile and good relationship both in professional, and even personal sense. Most of the managers are good in giving us space to be autonomous and not micro-manage or control. They are also starting to work on career development more. A lot of people relocated to Barcelona for Typeform, so we formed a great community y of expats (and locals of course) learning and progressing as well as enjoying activities after work together. We have a lot of different hobbies and activities that anyone can join to get to know people and integrate within the team and the city.
Svantaggi
-Last year Typeform grew a lot. It's natural that it's having some challenges with this fast change that is mostly related to communication and effective collaboration. It's hard to know all the people now. -There is no clear remote work policy, it is in a way OK to work remotely but, in reality, it's not used very much by some teams. More holidays or/ and flexibility would be a good improvement for such an international crowd. -Dependent on the role the salary can be quite low, especially if comparing with other startup hubs like Berlin (with similar costs). Some positions are valued more than others and it feels too much sometimes. -Some managers are new in this role or don't know how to lead in our kind of culture (startup, dynamic, open). This results in some of them wanting to control and micro-manage occasionally as well as failing in communication.
