Pros
* Good onboarding process * Incredible team * Very comfortable place to work * Retreats every 3 months * Interesting and challenging tasks
Cons
* The company is not very large yet, so the scale of operations is still limited
Pros
The tech side of the business seems happy with sufficient autonomy. They have the right intentions and desire for building an interesting organisation with novel ways of doing things.
Cons
In the non-tech side it's pretty brutal. The founder is almost a parody of a bad manager. There's a lot of talk about autonomy and freedom to work on what you like but this seems to be reserved for the tech side of the business. I experienced huge amount of micromanagement to the point where the founder was literally watching me work in a shared spreadsheet whilst providing 'helpful' comments in a passive aggressive way in a group chat on things like column widths or size of fonts. There's an expectation to be available at any time of the day, in my first week I was on a very non-essential call until 10pm in the evening on a Friday with zero acknowledgement or gratitude expressed for my willingness to stay on. There's very little kindness or compassion and little regard for your wellbeing, apparently the work is supposed to be fulfilling in itself so you don't need any other support or niceness.
Pros
Autonomous working, Remote, Talented team, Exciting product, Collaborative, Innovating new ways of working which is an exciting challenge.
Cons
Remote (can also be a con as well as a pro, but thankfully we get together 4 times a year), My pro for 'Innovating new ways of working' can also be daunting if you are not open to change and development.
