Pros
  • A very high growth environment that is ripe for taking initiative and responsibility
  • Incredible talent density and several company internal rituals to both share knowledge and accelerate co-worker growth
  • Impact-driven work with a very clear ownership model, where you will have pronounced independence but also responsibility along with it
  • Culture, and the core company values have remained stable throughout its lifetime
  • Flat hierarchies, and you don’t expect to be micro-managed or to have work laid out for you, as you’ll be expected to figure out what is the best way to solve a problem
Cons
  • Work hours: the flip side of the impact-driven work is that sometimes this can materialize as crunch time, and with prioritization this isn’t a given, though.
  • Variance in payroll: very individual-driven and custom-tailored, which can lead to big differences in pay, even if at the same technical level. Management tries to proactively close this gap, though.
  • Pressure to deliver: with high ambition and impact also comes pressure to deliver, which you should be able to handle to work effectively.
Advice to Management
  • Continue cyclic re-structures to keep teams small enough to be nimble and impact-driven, segmented by domain knowledge and problem spaces.
  • Keep up the positive trend with open and transparent internal communication patterns.
  • Continue tackling discussions related to ethics with initiative and being part of the broader societal development.
  • It would be great to see more inclusiveness and diversity also on the upper management levels, we’re above average in most categories but not here.
