Pros
Amazing learning opportunity. If you are looking to be shaken out of your comfort zone and problem solve with the most brilliant minds in your community, this is the place for you. It challenges you to unlearn and relearn constantly and to keep pushing the boundaries.
Cons
The pay does not equate the amount of work put it. It is amazing to learn something new daily with other brilliant minds but the dedication and problem solving required is unprecedented. Because Andela attracts the best and levels up their skillset, poaching will inevitably be on the rise as other companies are willing to offer a lot more for the kind of talent attracted. The startup nature and global management structure in place means that there will be a lot of sudden changes, some good, some bad and this is bound to keep you confused about your place and alignment in the organisation. If you are able to keep your head above water, you can rise through the ranks against the waves of office politics and massive competition.
