Pros
I spent nearly 4 years at Yapily and having left over a month ago, I've finally had time to reflect on my experience working there.
As a function of my role, I worked with people across a number of teams including engineering, product, pre-sales, strategy and leadership. It's clear that everyone has deep passion, and is tied into the collective mission. It was amazing to see everyone rallying together when we needed to think of creative approaches or overcome challenges. Yapily has a strong no-ego culture.
Yapily is in an incredibly unique position with its product-market fit and commitment to the highest engineering standards, and so as a sales person I was always able to stand confidently behind the product and thus bring creativity to my stakeholder engagement.
Managers and leadership are always there to support, and particularly in my last year working closely with the senior leadership team I learnt an inordinate amount and grew as a professional in so many ways.
I miss the team and will continue cheering Yapily on from the sidelines!
Cons
As with any fast-growing company, there is a pressure to perform and work to the highest standard. This can be a bit daunting in the moment, but on reflection it really helped me grow as a person and I think has set me up well for my new role.
