Pros

I've worked at Mendix for over 3 years, and I’ve enjoyed working there so far. Building a low-code platform brings a unique set of challenges, which requires strong engineering and problem-solving skills because of the high abstraction level required for the platform. The product and team are growing rapidly, which brings a lot of opportunities but also poses some challenges. - Great culture, everyone (including... management) is easily approachable and willing to listen to feedback. - Lots of things are possible in Mendix if you have ideas to improve the platform you can get the room to execute and make an impact. - Genuinely nice, smart and driven colleagues. - Freedom as a team, you can decide on working hours, working from home and control your scope. - Technical career track, you can keep growing on the technical level. No need to take a less technical role just to grow in salary! - Great initiatives like book clubs, crafting days (10% time) that you can leverage to learn - Training budget ( ‎‎€1850 as of 2020) that you can spend how you see fit. - A lot of stuff happening, never a dull day.

Cons

- Rapid growth causes growing pains, both in the internal organization as well as on the development of new products. - Equipment to facilitate remote meetings could be improved. - It’s great to have a technical career path, but make sure that managers/leaders .reserve time to help people to take the next step.

Advice to Management

- I appreciate all of the efforts that are put into scaling the organization while staying true to our culture and values. - Make sure to keep asking for feedback, like e.g. in R&D all-hands meetings. This will help signaling issues around rapid growth.
