Pros

Open communication: nearly communication is available in public Slack channels. Living the value: this is the first time in my career that I can see the majority of the employee living a company value. Intellectual challenge: everyone in the company is highly intelligent and qualified, which creates an environment where everyone constantly stimulates each other. Friendly environment: working at Wave feels like being at home with friendly, smiling colleagues who are always ready to help.

Cons

Sometimes it can be hard to know the right person to talk to when you're not familiar with the organization chart - given the size of the company.

Pros

Well run company and engineering department. Nice and supportive coworkers. It's a company that has a mission and really believes in it and it's ability to improve people's lives. Opportunity to travel to work with others and to experience the African markets the company operates in.

Cons

Engineering is fully remote, which can be a little isolating. That said, people are always willing to jump on a call. Pay is on the low side.
