Pros

Real start-up with great potential. Great timing as the market is just now opening up for their product and methodology. The people are genuine and not like your typical egoistic start-ups. There is a strong desire to be successful, but do it with integrity and pride. We don't spend money on frivolous crap. We are not afraid to celebrate successes, but hardly anyone cares about having the shiniest new gadgets, rather building a sustainable and successful company.

Cons

Typical start-up growing pains around quickly scaling, but scaling with the right talent to ensure success. Office gets hot in the summertime but that just makes for a great excuse to head out to any of the local beer gardens.

Pros

Our leadership encourages employees to think different and innovate to succeed even on non-traditional paths. Great to be founder of riskmethods and having established a management team that not only listens to our team members but also consider team-inputs having an impact on decisions. Our customer-statisfaction is extremely high (we have industry leading 2-digit negative churn rates!) and customers are strong advocates in the market: it´s a positive setting if your are in a CSM role and face customers every day (allows to support their journey in maturity and not managing complaints all the day), marketing roles (you get customer approvals for collaterals, webinar participations etc. without begging) and sales & sales development (I think it´s self-explaining how nice it is having a sexy product with strong demand and plenty of customer references to leverage). Many management or teamlead positions are held by employees that were promoted - this shows the job opportunities in a growing company. The office space in the US is awesome: great kitchen with full (free) catering services, a good gym inside the building and plenty of included offerings (yoga, running,...) and finally a nice view on Boston from floor 18.

Cons

If you expect to work in an environement where every process, role, organizational set-up is already built-out - better step back. We have set professional processes, organization design and leverage state-of-the-art tools but always open for better "stuff" to establish and adapt quickly. The office space needs to be expanded due to the strong growth, but management is already checking out additional space on same floor of the current building.
