Pros

Regardless of the sea view office, free snacks and drinks. The unique culture in Quirky is definitely hard to be found elsewhere in HK. The transparency culture within company, from work environment to org structure, makes great bonding with everyone at work, easy communication, everyone’s opinions count and a lot of opportunities to grab! The fast paced in the company makes the job challenging and fun, you’ll definitely be amazed by the Quirky machine.

Cons

With the offices in NY, SF and HK, the time differences does have an impact in your work-life balance. You’re expected to be working outside of office hours, checking e-mails form time to time. If you don’t love the company, you probably wouldn’t enjoy this habit. This place is for people with great passions in what they are doing.

Pros

One of the most inspiring workplaces I've ever had the privilege of being part of with some of the most talented professionals in the industry.

Cons

Hyper fast-paced, even for a startup. Wasn't the right environment for the average employee.

Pros

I've been at Quirky for nearly 3 years and its been a wild ride and amazing experience. I've been able to make meaningful contributions to my team in ways that have pushed me forward. I've had a strong hand in how my role has evolved and I've learned and grown so much in my time here. Quirky is scrappy and resilient and I love that we are never afraid to take risks and try doing the impossible. And the thing I love most about Quirky are the people. I'm surrounded by so many brilliant minds who are passionate about our mission to Make Invention Accessible and I think our mission continues to drive loyalty to Quirky. We all want to make a difference!

Cons

The company has had its fair share of strategy changes since I started, and it's been a particularly trying few months, which has led to some change fatigue among the staff. Have we always made the best decisions? No. Do we continue to bounce back? Absolutely! In these challenging times, I've seen our leadership do what they can to keep us informed and I've seen them step up to do whatever it takes to keep this business moving forward. In turn, this has really helped keep me moving forward. I'm optimistic about our recent strategic pivot and structural changes. Once we get to the other side, I think we will be much better positioned for success in the long term.
