Pros

- Everyone on the team is united by the mission. I think this is really powerful and makes it easy (in a sense) to make decisions about the company and the product - we genuinely want what is best for our users. - Thing here move quickly and change regularly! This is something I find exciting but others might find stressful. - Having working arrangement flexibility is really nice - people work from home / remotely regularly and no one is weird about it. - It's a fun place to work! The team gets along well and everyone is really talented and motivated.

Cons

For me there aren't any, but as with any growing start-up you need to be able to handle the fact that it's a fast-paced working environment and things might be a bit stressful.

Pros

- Product does positively impact people's lives - Lots of smart, highly capable and friendly people

Cons

- Such a shame for a start up to be such a political environment to work in. - Whilst constant change is expected in a start up, the underlying strategy to achieve the business vision is lacking. - The founders both struggle to listen to others (apart from a select few). They also both have very particular ways of doing things. - Bit of a fear / blame culture where you are judged daily without constructive feedback. They struggle to 'assume good intent' of people. - Deadly silent office as that is the founders preferred way of working - again, not what you expect from a start up. - The founders take everything quite personally, so they sometimes react with emotion without thinking rationally.

Thanks for your feedback! I agree, it’s always a bit of a challenge trying to go from “founders doing it all themselves” - to building a team where we can’t anymore. Basically, learning to let go! We’re making strides to address this though and have moved a lot of responsibility on to our team leads which has been working out great. Startups are also stressful - so we’ve absolutely hear you on taking things personally. It’s tricky when you’ve built “your baby” not to take things personally - but we’ve both started working with a coach to help balance this out, as well as seeking as much feedback as possible from our team. We wish you all the best for the future. Chris - CEO
