Pros

- Opportunity to work with global engineering firms.

Cons

- Andela now runs a contractor model and do not employ full time employees. The contractor contract is one of the worst I have seen to date, with lots of clauses that are aimed to screw their employees/contractors. - They pretty much don't care about their employees at this point. - They want their partner companies to believe they're still "changing Africa by growing more developers" which can't be more farther from the truth. - Working there does feel like being on a plantation. - The employees/contractors are heavily underpaid, with the company paying their engineers as low as 10% of what they make for the company.
