Pros
- The best perk in Tonkean is the people. They are truly amazing - always smiling and willing to help no matter what role you are in or how long you are in the company. Everyone you speak with is intelligent, driven, and friendly. Always eating lunch together and talking about the last episode of their favorite show. - Unbelievable culture - It's almost impossible to create a place where everyone's opinion is heard, and that is not losing focus on what's essential, but Tonkean is precisely like that. No ego, no BS. Just making the product better with zero politics. - Very transparent. You're always aware of what's going on. There's a weekly meeting where everyone shares about the past week - marketing and sales talk about new and existing customers, and R&D shows the latest features (developers present their own features!). - Tonkean has a management you can trust. Always talking at eye level and giving you endless opportunities to grow and influence. No weird or surprising decisions, just as managers should be. - If you look for a place with zero drama and want to influence and continuously learn, this is the place for you.
Cons
With great power comes great responsibility, and as every small company, your influence has a price, and it can get intense at times. Nobody will lose their temper or micro-manage you, but be prepared to work hard - no room for shortcuts. The best thing about it is that you'll be surrounded by the most amazing people that will always be willing to help you, and you will learn A LOT. Also, take in mind that the processes are not always fine-tuned, so be able to embrace or improve it.
