Pros

8fit is in a major growth phase – user acquisition is off the charts and the company recently raised capital, so there's a lot of opportunity to contribute new ideas across functions, from product to marketing to content. The team is also growing quickly to support that user growth and our ambitious goals – and 8fit recruits from everywhere! The team is very international, with several languages spoken in the office daily. The CEO encourages transparency and collaboration in our approach, and we're constantly testing and iterating on ideas, so it's a fast-paced, fun environment with opportunity to lead projects and take ownership of your work and your own success. 8fit also offers some pretty great perks: we get together every Friday for a healthy lunch, have a gym benefit and often meet up for fitness-related activities, and the company also organizes an (optional) offsite in the winter months to escape the Berlin grey - so we're heading top Thailand as a team in February!

Cons

As with any small, growing startup, there are some growing pains as we work to figure out processes, tools, systems, team structure, etc and how to scale the company effectively, but the management team is working to ensuring we're not growing too fast or too big without figuring out those things first and is communicative and transparent about the goings-on, so there's trust and visibility across teams.

Great product that has positive impact Beautiful office space in central Berlin Great food and resources for employees

Cons

Standard Berlin startup drama and can be lack of team cohesion. There are a few employees with bad attitudes here and there.

Pros

- Employee benefits are ok - Coworkers are tolerant

Cons

- Game of thrones like internal politics that see a succession of managers and leaders come and go with the tide, each of them not able to make the slightest dent in the company's future before vanishing in mysterious ways several months down the road - The product has fundamental flaws, no real work is ever done, each "leader" is pushing their own agenda and could not care less - Constant psychological warfare and secret stories - Widespread lack of skills and work experience across departments
