Pros

Twain is a great place to work in many different ways: - Even though it's a startup, they greatly care about the culture. Everything is super-transparent; everyone is very respectful and friendly to each other. - Once again, it's surprising for the startup - the codebase is in excellent shape, Twain lives in a mono repo, CI/CD, testing and infrastructure setup is solid, it's a pleasure to write the code. - Twain is a remote-first company in a good way. You will have a lot of freedom, no one will ever check on you and manage you. But high performance and liability will, of course, be expected from you. Also, you will meet a lot - the office in Berlin is just excellent, and offsite meetings are just another level. - The CEO, Mohamed Chahin, is friendly, achievable, and open-minded. He cares a lot about the product, company, and team. Twain is no doubt his life's work. - The product vision is bright and ambitious. People in Twain know precisely what they are building and what their mission is. Twain will change the world :)

Cons

Seriously, they are just great. You will feel on the very first meeting and this feeling won't fade.

Pros

Twain is one of those rare companies which has full integrity in every aspect of what they do. Everyone at Twain is wholly valued, respected, and cared about. What's more, the employees want to help each other succeed and excel, and raise each other up. The CEO is very fair and I get 100% autonomy and flexibility to decide what I am working on, when and where. At the same time, he's always very thankful for the work put in. You can easily see how much he cares about the company and above all the people working there. I feel very appreciated. The other employees are also super friendly and supportive, and are a genuinely lovely bunch of people who I enjoy getting to know and working with. The work at Twain is interesting and you do get the feeling you're working on something exciting and new. You can also see the big potential for the product to help people in need and make society more equal. Additionally, Twain donates to worthy causes, which makes your work feel even more worthwhile.

Cons

I don't see any cons working at Twain. The only thing I can say is that as there is so much flexibility to do your work when you want, if you're not a motivated individual you might find it hard to get the impetus to keep to your routine.
