Pros
As a startup that is rapidly growing, there's a lot that's attractive about Marfeel. They embrace transparency, being as open as they can regarding business goals and operational decisions/strategy. While expectations and day-to-day responsibilties can be intense and fast-paced, Marfeel is at a point in its lifecycle where all team members are exposed to all areas of the business, and the benefits of that type of visibility coupled with its commitment to transparency is invaluable. Again, if coming from a multinational environment, the pace and autonomy can take some time to get used to, but as I grew with the company, I always felt valued and empowered not only in my day-to-day, but also with aligning my professional and personal ambitions with the company – having the ability to discuss my goals with management and bi-laterally find ways to set me on that path. For those looking for professional challenges, Marfeel provides that in abundance, in addition to the rewards, gratification, and professional growth that comes with it. Lastly, the biggest and most significant advantage of Marfeel are the people. Everyone from the CEO to entry-level engineers are some of the most talented, driven, and genuine individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. When I took the job I wanted to surround myself with talent and intelligence and use that to develop and grow; I definitely found it here. The sheer quality of the individuals at Marfeel and their authentic good-nature was just a bonus and one that really left its mark on me.
Cons
All startups that are growing at Marfeel's velocity are subject to growing pains. For example, communication across all teams is something that requires improvement, yet even with that being said, management is always identifying its shortcomings and attempts to address and rectify any deficiencies. If coming from a corporate environment, while this may also cause friction, it's also a valuable learning moment to observe how companies react to weaknesses and try to turn them into strengths. Expectations and pace are also demanding. For those looking for a challenge and the growth it provides this isn't necessarily a con, but for some it might be.
