Pros

Been doing promo for some of their daughter companies for a while now. The people in the marketing team are super kind and they have a fun way of looking at the world and their target marketplaces. Love the informal attitude and the room you get to "do your own Thing" Love their sex positive attitude. They are really helping to break down the stigma about taboo areas in the mondiale social discussion. Love the fact that I get to help prepare the world to understand and accept including the sense of touch into how we interface with the internet. I think haptics is a super interesting field to be active in right now. I feel FeelRobotics can have a giant impact on how future generations experience the web. I havent interacted with the C-level much, but from what I can see their COO is a solid guy. Would love to get to know the CEO and the Sales Director better, but they travel a lot. I love the Dutch attitude they have there, People get the space to argue, debate, and review decisions in front of every body. Makes the business floor feel like a forum. I love it that people feel safe to really explore their emotional investment in their projects and those of their colleagues. You have to be really in tune with how Dutch people go about business though. There are no strict hierarchies. There are in an organization perspective of course, but not one as far as interpersonal communication goes. I've literally seen every layer of the company providing, blunt, raw feedback to every other layer of the company. The consensus seems that everybody learns from honesty. Wich is refreshing, as far as I am concerned. Have seen expats not being able to adjust. But that's on them. People who aren't into that style if direct communication don't last long. For me this is the preferable structure of internal communication. Showing you care is worth a lot here. Hope to be able to do a lot more for this tech company in the future. Such bold projects and aspirational goals. If it was up to me, I'd sign on for 2 years full time in the blink of an eye. Ive shown interest in a full time position and I know they value my work, so I expect to scale up in the near future. I feel FeelRobotics has a fun amical culture where the people that really commit to the brands have wonderful chemistry and elevate each other to better their performances and friendships along with that.

Cons

At first it felt like i was dumped into a tight group of work obsessed friends. I felt like an outsider for the first 2 or 3 days. But I felt welcomed ever since i put myself out there and got accustomed to taking the liberty to express myself.

Pros

"Free beer" on a Friday is not a pro.

Cons

I hope all senior managers in FR and Kiiroo read this - These 12 points are the brutal truth for you. Hope you can handle it: 1. When your best people leave, it's not them. It's you. 2. You don't have a remote work issue. You have trust issues. 3. Management that can't handle feedback won't survive change. 4. If your actions don't align with your values, your employees won't trust you. 5. Your diversity program is hollow if your leadership team all looks the same. 6. Underpaying your people doesn't make you cost-effective. It makes you short-sighted. 7. A toxic culture will tarnish your brand, no matter how good your products are. 8. The customer experience will never exceed the employee experience. 9. Micromanagement isn't a sign of dedication, it's a warning sign. 10. Top talent won't stay if their growth isn't your priority. 11. Leading by fear creates teams that underperform. 12. If you don't pay people what they're worth, someone else will.
