Great product and culture
Great product and culture
- The product that the founder (Jan) has developed is an amazing tool which is great to work on.
- From what I've seen, there's a great emphasis on making n8n as convenient and user friendly as possible, which means you'll be doing a lot of extra leg work and go the extra mile to make the product follow this principle all around.
- Given that it's an early startup, the work you do has a large impact on the progression of things.
- The team is small but cooperative and fun to hang around with. Emphasis in recruitment is placed both on technical competence and also team fit.
- All your work is peer reviewed and critiqued, even by the CEO himself. It's a great way to improve and learn.
- Can ask programming related questions / issues you're having with a task in a very chill way with anyone willing to help you at any time. Such teamwork is heavily encouraged.
- There's a great sense of trust and responsibility placed on each employee. There's no unnecessary rules about being in the office just for the sake of being in the office for example and the principles and decisions surrounding the company are based on pragmatism more than anything else.
- Based in Berlin, a beautiful place to be in, especially during the warmer months.
- Overall there's a lot room for working hard and developing yourself professionally in an environment where you are treated as an adult, given trust but also responsibility, and when you know your work makes a difference to the users of the product and the n8n team itself it makes it all worthwhile.
-
If you are comfortable with strict protocols and having a more corporate vibe in terms of how work is given to you and how you deal with the team then n8n might not be for you.
-
As with any startup, there's some things that are not yet set in stone and require your own consideration on how to proceed.
-
Your tasks might not be entirely just programming, perhaps you might be tasked to write documentation for a couple of days or do other monkey work, but in the end it's all to provide the best user experience.
