Transparent, Amazing, and Scaling
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Tallinn, Estonia
July 6, 2020
Pros: - Autonomous - Helps each team grow and learn on their own.
- Transparent - It's absolutely amazing to know how transparent a company can be. They even publish financial stats as a startup, even when they are not obliged to. That's how transparent a company can get!
- Growth - With the company handling scale to a great extent, it is an amazing opportunity to grow as an engineer and be a part of a fast-paced environment.
Cons: Not much, to be honest. If I had to nitpick, I would say scale has taken a very big toll, derailing a dozen new features to be released. That being said, quality is still the highest priority. It's about getting one thing correct versus many things okay.
