Pros
- Flexible work culture; WFH, flexible hours for my team. Felt like I was results-oriented rather than politics-oriented.
- Truly cross-team collaboration.
- Coworkers who care about the product and want to improve it. Most employees are engaged and actively providing feedback on the product.
- CTO / head of product is a great leader and manager; he actively sought out feedback to improve, had no ego, and really cared about his team. I will miss him as a manager!
- Great hiring strategy; Algrano has retained motivated, experienced, friendly and creative professionals on below-market salaries. There’s really a feeling of community and purpose.
- Working on something that makes the world better; empowering coffee producers. Impact.
Cons
- Salaries not competitive for Zürich/tech, but not sure it’s fair to criticise given that everybody knows what they are signing up for
- Limited scope for progression
