Highly recommended - Sales and BD intern Advanon Employee Review

About 6 months ago, I've applied to a Front-End Senior Developer position at Advanon. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the hiring process, I did the first interview with HR, then implemented a small app as a home task, another interview with engineers in which I had to answer technical questions and do live coding, and a final one with management. During the process, I just hoped Advanon was so impressed with me as I was with them. Everyone I interacted with was super-friendly, open minded, and highly professional. Quite naturally, Advanon rose to the first spot on the list of places I had applied to, so I didn't think twice when they sent me an offer. Six months later, I think it turned out well, my perspective hasn't changed, in fact, it was reinforced. Working at Advanon doesn't feel like "work", it feels like joining a group of like-minded people and contribute to do something worth doing, i.e. helping SMEs get liquidity by allowing them to pre-finance their invoices. "Work" is both challenging and addicting, I have plenty of autonomy and I feel my opinions go a long way. I have the time flexibility to keep up with developments on my field and to cross-check with my peers. Although I work remotely from another country, I have been in the Zurich office twice, the last time for a week, and being there I felt I was at home. If six months ago I knew what I know now, would I still have joined Advanon? The answer is an unequivocal YES, absolutely. It was one of those rare occasions one's hopes turned out to be true.

I can't think of anything worth noting.

Advanon really excels at making every single member of the team feel they have a say in the direction of business and shape of the company. There are frequent opportunities for direct, 2-way feedback, and the co-founders and management team really set a tone of openness and ambition. It's a bit contagious :) Highlights: - Frequent visits between members in Zürich and Berlin office to ensure smooth communication - Advaperks benefits plan has a lot of things to make life easier: transport passes, enhanced holiday perks, gym membership, and a lot of other lifestyle things to choose from - Flexible hours/location. Can work remotely sometimes, and comfortable working zones in office to focus or collaborate - The people. They are just really awesome to work with!

Really hard to think of any con at all. If I had to pick one, I'd say that at times it can be difficult to "turn off" after work because there is always so much to do, and so many ambitious goals ongoing. But I think people learn different techniques to help wind down in their free time. For me and most team members, I think we are just really excited at the potential of the business, and helping each other out, that it can blur the work/life boundary sometimes. But that's true of most great workplaces .
