Chaotic - Senior Software Engineer Braintribe Employee Review

Braintribe is a visionary place where new ideas are born and also can grow up. This is by its very nature a difficult but brave enterprise. Given the complex environment of technology and economics we even do well in this. I honestly respect the endurance of the whole company to go through the according transtions that are benefitial in the long run. Exactly that makes it visionary. One thing is to establish a history and the other is to transcend it. Braintribe keeps balancing this trade-off. I personally love the people at Braintribe as they are social, communicative, funny, diverse and enganged. Currently I can't imagine another company that may serve with such an environment and technology.

Chaos is a natural consquence of trying something ground breaking. I don't treat this as if it would be avoidable and I even appreciate it but still it is something which is in play and probably can be better managed.

A very unique company in many ways. A rare mixture of North American and European corporate culture - innovative and challenging while valuing a work/life balance. Working on something new and interesting, a product with great potential. Flat hierarchical structure and innovative organisational model, allowing employees to bring meaningful contributions to the company. Challenging, lots of opportunities to learn. Great atmosphere, a culture that values cooperation. Employees trust and support each other, instead of micromanaging and competing. Good treatment of employees. Unlike most companies, Braintribe allows employees to find their own space and contribute as much as they can there. You'll also learn a lot about yourself in the process.

Varying workload - sometimes very relaxed, sometimes very busy work weeks. Steep learning curve - but probably a necessary part of doing something new. This company is not for everyone. If you're unable to manage your own work, you might be a better fit somewhere else.
