Pros

The company puts the problem first, not the solution. What is the problem? Speak to any individual working there and you will a passionate response first hand. The problem the company is tackling is so daunting and it's easy to get lost in the weeds, but the culture is such that everyone is constantly reminded of the problem the team is trying to solve. If anyone is going to crack the informal transport space, its these folks. The engineering team is incredibly strong, you will learn a lot as a developer. But more importantly, you will learn about product and business development. I have learnt more than an MBA's worth being part of this culture and seeing the company navigate through the years. The team asks itself tough questions every day. They are not afraid or re-doing something after realising a flaw in the design. It is so refreshing seeing a company that cares so much about solving a problem that everything else is secondary.

Cons

I worked at WIMT for 6.5 years and have seen it grow first hand. There are a lot of hurt feelings among previous employees (see the negative reviews). Unfortunately due to the nature of a growing startup, some tough decisions had to be made along the way (I was part of some of them). The decisions, while hurtfull, were necessary at the time and unfortunately, some people took it personally. Since then, the company has gone through a major restructuring of management and is much better equipped to forecast such events in the future. I have full faith in the mission, and even more in the team. The culture is like non-other. This is not a typical tech company, there is nothing like this out there.

Pros

Working at WhereIsMyTransport was a truly unique experience. It's where I encountered the brightest and most passionate individuals dedicated to the world of public transport, to improving the daily lives of people everywhere.

Cons

Despite the team's brilliance and dedication, securing consistent and sufficient funding proved difficult. This meant periods of uncertainty, resource constraints, and the constant pressure to achieve ambitious goals with limited means.
