Pros

* Great staff working there. * Modern facilities * Amazing staff parties

Cons

The company waste a lot money on staff events and facilities, rather than using some of that money for benefits like medical aid or pension funds. The company is based around being the next Google in Cape Town and this is where they fall short. Opportunities as limited for people of colour as the entire management team (except for one or two are of colour due to government regulation) even the executive committee is just a group of white people. I would recommend taking the job, get experience and go to a company where you can grow as horizontal growth is not a thing.

Pros

- Open communication (they really do listen, help and discuss instead of merely assigning tasks) - Clear assignments/tasks with detailed steps to follow - Nice and fun people to work with - Doing work that actually enriches peoples' lives (providing educational material to further careers and education) - Decent pay, always on time - Diversity - Remote/flexible ( there's no micro-managing as long as the work gets done and is done well and on time)

Cons

- Trial and error for translation software and processes (but that's to be expected as this was a new project)
