Exciting, Positive, Challenging & Thriving - Anonymous employee Arkera Employee Review

In the next few days I will be completing one year at Arkera. Having worked for bigger organisations in the past, there was always the nervousness of joining a new company, especially knowing the fact that it was a start up. However, having heard the vision and mission of the founders I took a bold step to join their journey that would enable people to make better decisions regarding this investments and wealth. Looking back, I can very well say that the decision that I took about 12 months back was the right one. Having had a career that spans close to 25 years, one may think that “you have seen it all”. However the past 12 months have proved that wrong. Everyday is a new day and you always get to learn something new.   In terms of technology, we have adopted an advanced architecture, cutting edge technical stack, and the methodologies are innovative. The turnaround time for any of our tasks are phenomenal. The team here great and ever helping. Having said that, no day goes without a discussion on “what is the best ways to solve a problem at hand”. The founders have been very supportive and have created an environment that brings out the best from an employee.

Like any startup, you need to wear multiple hats and cannot say "this is not my job". However, this is not necessary a constraint - for people willing to learn, it is an opportunity to explore and learn newer things.

I joined the company as QA manager about 11 month ago. Very soon I found that working with start up was very different to working for an established organisation. I had to learn quickly and adopt newer methodologies to become productive to the company. I am happy that I am getting opportunity to learn newer technologies and methodologies. The experience of learning a new domain has been fantastic. I am very proud to be part of this Data Science company, and working together with a team of data scientists has given a very different dimension to my work. This is something that you never get to experience when working for a “run-of-the-mill” software company. All these have definitely added value to my career.
