Pros

* Friendly working environment. Colleagues are capable and ready to help. There are team activities organized regularly to bond the members. * Flexible working locations and hours. Progress is tracked based on tasks only. * Flat management structure. It's a very open environment where opinions are welcomed from anyone. * Passionate and prudent management team that can be trusted to make the right growth decisions.

Cons

* Onboarding and training process can be improved. * Ideally should have a complete scrum team size at each software development location. * Welfare package is a bit less competitive.

Pros

Fast growing, the CEO is an incredible person, and the industry is fascinating.

Cons

The team is global, so coordinating communications in the different time zones was challenging. Sometimes things didn't progress as quickly as they could because of it.
