Pros

Diverse, intelligent colleagues. All the free beer you want.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Culture could be a thing, but it's mostly toxic. DO NOT BE FOOLED by management's attempts to force feed you the same story they feed the market, they're good at it. I can confirm from another comment that the lead sales recruiter has left. Turnover is rampant. 30+ SDRs were hired this year, but total SDRs in the company, is less than that. Only one manager in the sales org has been at Andela for longer than 12 months. The SDR managers do not have enough support to handle the large team, and things slip through the cracks. Brilliant ideas die. Timely feedback is not delivered with urgency. In the sales org, no one knows how much the developers are compensated. BEWARE of nepotism. I think management, or third party HR, has done a good job cleaning up those relationships, but STILL beware. People would often get promoted for relationship, not merit. Some employees were saved from termination and pulled into another department so they could remain within the company.
