Pros

A huge positive is the culture at SAPI, we seem to put a great emphasis on hiring bright, friendly people, so the overall vibe is lovely. Our core hours (11 - 4) work really well for collaborating between London and Vietnam offices, as well as allowing for flexibility in your own schedule. Whole company does 1 day (Wednesdays currently) in the office, so it is valuable to come in as you see everyone, On the tech side we have some great people with a good vision. We seem to balance well between moving quickly and upholding engineering excellence - to be expected of a startup. Being a small tech team we have opportunity to take on ambitious projects/initiatives, and some very talented engineers, so there are many opportunities and challenges that allow you to grow and learn professionally.

Cons

We are beginning to settle on a product/model that works for us, but we have been through a variety of changes so that always creates a bit of chaos. But this is also standard startup life. Sometimes selling the value of addressing tech debt can be difficult internally, which makes delivering new features much slower/flaky over time. Again also small growing business standard issue!

Pros

- Only 1 day a week in the office required - 6 weeks vacation - Flexible hours. Only 11 am - 4 pm required to be online for UK employees, remaining hours up to you. - 6 more weeks of full remote work, where the 1 day in the office requirement is dropped - Genuine commitment for doing the right thing for partners and customers - A fresh and clean tech stack, relatively little legacy cruft, commitment to using fresh and new tech - High standards of coding excellence - Very talented and friendly colleagues

Cons

- Finding product/market fit remains a struggle - Working out how to balance risk - Lots of startup-level churn, changing priorities and plans - Harder to think long-term, tendency to get caught up in the short term
