Pros

Where do I begin! It's easy to talk about the fun parts of the job (company trips abroad, Christmas parties, company incentives, table tennis etc.) but I think what makes Hello Soda so special is the drive and ambition of the whole company, not just from the sales team but all the way to Marketing, Data Science and everyone involved. The passion and support from the senior management team is unique and they are comfortable at putting trust in the right people to achieve the desired results by giving us the freedom to be entrepreneurial and think outside of the box as well as offering their support at the right times. The CEO likes to be proactive in the sales process which for me is a great asset and shows his passion for the product. The most exciting part of working for Hello Soda is the future, I feel I'm certainly in the right place at the right time and I can see real potential of rapid career growth as we embark on the next exciting stage of our journey. I can't wait for the next couple of years!

Cons

The hours take a bit of getting used to (this is not your typical 9-5 job) but it is definitely worth it.

Pros

Autonomy, Chance to build something great, dedicated team, innovative and disruptive

Cons

Some may say because based in UK, being on an outpost is hard, it's all in your head and how you approach it.

Pros

LOVE working for Hello Soda! I am excited to be a part of something innovative, dynamic, and challenging while having fun and getting to work with amazing people both in Austin and in our headquarters in Manchester. Management genuinely wants what is best for me as a person and employee, and cares about my success. Management wants to know which direction I would like to grow with the company. So, I can do what enjoy, and work never feels like "work". The team is more of a family – friendly, resourceful, and a supportive sounding board for questions, knowledge and ideas. Most of all, the team is dedicated to Hello Soda and share the passion to see the company succeed. Events and Incentives – I have traveled to Cyprus for a kick off meeting, worked and trained in the U.K., floated down the river with the team, gone to happy hours and trivia nights and worked together for conferences and events. Hello Soda rewards and praises employees in company-wide meetings.

Cons

Because Hello Soda is a smaller company, some people might not be used to the “roll up your sleeves” mentality: being resourceful, creative and adaptive in all positions and offices – which I actually enjoy. The constant change of the start-up atmosphere is not for everyone. Some people might not respond well when Management asks for more out of employees than to listen to problems. They want to see the employee take charge and come up with solutions.
