Pros

Good chance to develop skills and get experience in tech Can easily move to other departments

Cons

Leadership doesn't listen to workers Lots of turnover from burnout Repeated hiring and firing of whole teams Mediocre people fail up but hard workers get passed over Raises and promotions promised never materialize but new people get hired making significantly more than existing loyal staff Nothing ever changes Will not be good for FAANG

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear if you felt unsupported in your role and were missing any key information on the conditions that you mentioned. We have recently changed our promotions structure on an annual basis to standardize our processes and individuals are still reviewed on their current performance on a regular basis. We are constantly hiring and salaries are reflected on acquiring competent and skilled workers and each individual is paid based on their given experience and performance. While we understand that the work at Inkitt can be dynamic and challenging at times, we do also offer unlimited paid time off and encourage employees to take the necessary time off from work to always rest and recharge. We encourage open communication, especially with your team managers to address these needs and to hand over tasks and processes if this is necessary.

Pros

- Being able to lead projects independently from A to Z and be trusted for it - Engaging daily with a creative and passionate team - Being part of exciting new projects in a fast-paced, fast-evolving industry - Steep learning curve, you'll be pushed out of your comfort zone and grow fast

Cons

Inkitt is a fast-paced start-up with no set playbook. People who love structure and need to be managed and told what to do may find it challenging.

Pros

Inkitt is one of the few places that actually sits between tech and media in a way that works. A manuscript comes in, real reader behavior tells you whether the story has legs, and the team turns that signal into a career for the author. I think about reader retention and narrative pacing in the same conversation now, which I didn't before.

Cons

The flip side is that the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Some weeks you're inventing the process while running it. Energizing if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you don't. Worth being honest with yourself about which camp you're in before signing on.
