Pros

Culture is the backbone of the company. You're trusted by default, encouraged to experiment, and given real ownership. The people and leaders are genuinely great — supportive, open, and human. Most importantly, you can be truly yourself here. The flat organization gives you the freedom to move around, collaborate across teams, and not feel boxed in by hierarchy.

Cons

Fast-paced, high-growth environment where things change quickly. You need to be comfortable adapting on the fly and taking on real responsibility. Not for everyone, but the culture helps make it manageable.

Pros

Working at Katana has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I love the flexibility of being part of a fully remote team, yet we still get the chance to connect in person during our annual company trip to Estonia—which is always a highlight. The product itself reflects the same values we work by: simple, powerful, and scalable. Katana’s UI is clean and intuitive, making it easy for users to get started right away. The open API and native integrations are robust, which is a huge win for manufacturers looking to streamline operations without overcomplicating things. Everything is clearly organized, and our team thrives on the structure and efficiency that carries through from our internal workflows to the product we deliver. If you’re passionate about helping businesses move from clunky spreadsheets to modern, connected systems—and you want to grow in a remote-first, high-impact environment—Katana is the place.

Cons

That said, there are a few challenges. The product is missing some key features that would make selling easier, especially in more complex sales cycles. And while the compensation is fair, I do wish the pay were slightly more competitive, especially given the strategic nature of the role and market.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s great to hear the remote setup and Estonia trip have been highlights for you. We put a lot of care into creating that balance between flexibility and meaningful connection, so it’s nice to know it’s landing. I also really appreciate you being honest about what’s not working too. The feature gaps you called out are valid, and we know they can add friction in the sales process. These are exactly the kind of insights that help us get sharper. Grateful to have you on the team! Christina De Giovanni Head of People and Culture, North America/NZ
