Pros
I joined TenX when it was a small team of not more than 12-15 employees and I’d seen the company throughout different stages, struggles, challenges, and accomplishments. After over two years we’d grown by 5 fold. We were trying to figure out things together as we go and I’m glad I was able to contribute to different areas i.e. branding, product management, project management, quality assurance, company key values and principles (aka culture), hiring, processes, HR, etc. - An overall friendly environment with quite a few really bright minds to learn from and to work with. - Relatively open to dialogue and changes work ethics. Although, there’s some getting people on-board and some holding hands into it. - Resilient in nature, TenX went through a lot of challenges and rough patches and strived through. - Well-funded startup with a big fan base. Which can be both exciting and stressful due to responsibility for their expectations. - You can contribute to the company in different ways, not necessarily directly related to your job scope if you choose to. - Beautiful office with all imaginable perks and full package with insurance and all.
Cons
TenX is a young company that is on the verge of figuring out things so it might feel a bit chaotic. It has both worlds of freedom (and flexibility) and policies. The two can clash at times but if you find a way to balance those and manage expectations you can enjoy the benefits of freedom and can feel the impact. - Clashes of product, startup, corporate, and engineering mindsets. - Many changes, not all of which are well thought or for a good cause. - Incompetent management, leadership, and no direction. - Juggling between corporate policy ethics and flexible results-oriented ethics. - Lack of experience in product development. - Some individuals are overtly protective and can get political. - Poor hiring, stay, exit process. Hiring wrong people, letting go the right ones. - Poor people and product skills.
