Pros

- Tight knit group - Great culture and atmosphere - Interesting product - Possibility to enjoy different festivals

Cons

- Organization is based on best effort, resulting in way too much (unpaid) overtime - Always under pressure - Lack of transparency from management (difficult to trust) - "By the book" heads that will make you feel like you're talking to a robot - Little to no trust in its core employees, would rather seek help from advisors - Too many meetings

Pros

- strong solidarity and team spirit within the employees - very interesting product and awesome customers - a great potential when it comes to the core product and the employees - lots of technical challenges - strong culture and values that were keeping everyone motivated...before it disappeared!

Cons

- poor management : the top management rarely truly listen to their employees. Recently, lack of empathy and humanity. - boy's club spirit : difficult for women to be heard from the top management team. - too much confidence given to out-of-the-blue consultants and external strategists. Not enough trust given to the employees that actually know the customers and the product. - not enough recognition for the employees who do the actual work - lack of transparency about the company strategies. - hard work and extra hours (not paid) are the norm. Burn-out among employees is common. Nothing was made to prevent that. - not enough training given to interns or new comers.

Pros

I started with Greencopper early this year. Greencopper is a fun place to work. I have been previously in other startups and Greencopper impressed me with its strong product & great team. The company is really flexible with employees (unplanned last minute personal business, remote work, etc.). It’s fun also to work with well-known festivals (the company sent 10 persons to Coachella this year in LA!!!).

Cons

I don’t see many problems right now. But if you look for a routine place to work for then it’s not the place for you, everyone is really dynamic and accept being challenged, even the founders.
