Pros

My experience with Howspace so far has been excellent. Howspace is a flat organization and we work both independently and collaboratively mostly in our regional teams, as well as functional teams. We have a growing presence here in North America, and we are always connected to our colleagues in Europe through Slack, Zoom and various internal workspaces. I appreciate the flexible working hours, trust-based system and the growth opportunities. When I started at Howspace, I believe there was ~40 employees, now there is over 60. With the positive and drama-free colleagues, great product and happy customers, it is easy to stay motivated. I am happy to be on this professional growth journey.

Cons

It is a "start-up" environment so it takes a lot of self-leadership and initiative to stay consistently productive. Additionally, I don't blame Howspace, but it's the pandemic and government restrictions which disallows in-person collaboration with the team. I do miss the energy of in-person working sessions and team-building, but hopefully by late 2021 or early 2022 we can return to that.

Pros

Group of idealists ( which is a con too).

Cons

They attempt to implement an autonomous organization model without effective leadership skills, which leads to inefficiency and chaos as employees lack clarity about their targets and scope of work. This is environment where honesty or truthfulness can lead to punishment. A few founding members, along with their family and long-time friends, hold significant power behind the scenes. Former employees generally refer to it as a cult with a strict code of conduct.
