If you like backend with big scale, this company is a good choice. I learnt a lot of about developing and operating in the cloud. The company life is vivid, there are trainings, the atmosphere is good.

Cons

Information sharing inside the company is adhoc, sometimes without clear technical vision. I missed the meetups and the company presence in conferences.

Advice to Management

Build consistent information sharing policy inside and outside.

Pros

Continuous learning, new challenges, improving skills, outstanding team mates!

Cons

I haven't found it yet!

Pros

I've been working on Wallapop for more than 3 years learning a lot and with a really competitive product and team. Great environment to work and helpful workmates across all departments. Highly specialized teams working focus to get the mutual objectives. Nice open space office with fruit and great catchup beers and also a lot of extra activities for example, yoga, workshops, meetups or futbol/padel... tournaments.

Cons

I don't have none really

Advice to Management

Keep working hard!

Pros

In general it has a nice atmosphere, super good work-life balance, very nice training budget, off-sites and other activities during the year that give you the opportunity to bind with colleagues that you never had the chance to speak with. As a startup it also offers the opportunity to see how a company grows and to learn from mistakes and successes.

Cons

Sometimes it felt like there was some lack of transparency and communication.

Advice to Management

More feedback to the employees would be welcomed, it gives more motivation to go to work and to give the best of you. Define your values and implement them. HR department should have more importance in the company, there are day-by-day issues that could be solved this way.

Pros

Experiencing the unique journey from early-day startup to almost-unicorn with all ups and downs, whilst learning about entering and competing in the US market. Couldn't have found a better place to learn, apply and test the latest digital marketing approaches. Worked with well experienced young professionals I could learn from every day.

Cons

Same as in most startups: growing pains in the beginning, followed by a hyper growth too fast to cope with, too inconsistent strategy changes, but that's what you in for when you join any startup.

Advice to Management

Try to create a more diverse company culture (more nationalities, cultures, ages, languages).

Pros

Health insurance, free coffee and fruit, videogames, nice education budget... Hardworking professionals that care a lot about their work and coworkers' well-being. Probably the best part about the company. . Friendly, fun and relaxed atmosphere. Good work - life balance. Flexible hours. Competitive salary. Career opportunities (this depends on the department).

Cons

Management seems chaotic and disregards development process, it's very prone to command critical (and usually bad) changes mid-project on a hunch. Most of the times your professional opinion (or your teammates' ) won't be respected or even taken into consideration. Micromanagement: Business people making design and product decisions. No transparency. Important decisions are made in "secret". And if you... have any luck, they'll notify your product owner before wasting a week's worth of work. Huge and unjustified pay discrepancies. Even though there are really nice people in Wallapop, there's kind of a close minded culture with lots of sexist, xenophobic, racist and transphobic "jokes" and comments that are fully tolerated or applauded, and never addressed.
