Pros

Great Team: Everyone is enthusiastic about their work, and helps each other to improve. We also have optional team outings from time to time. Interesting Area of Work: The work they are doing is interesting and impactful. Theoretical topics in university that I didn't imagine would actually be used, is touched upon here from time to time. Autonomy & Flexibility: We are given a lot of freedom on managing our work, and solving problems that we find. Management also takes into account our preferences on what we want to work on. Open & International Culture: Management is very open about our progress and direction as a company. As an employee, I feel very involved and an actual part of the company. Additionally, everyone is very open, fun and friendly regardless of background. Work Life Balance: I never felt as if I don't have time for my personal life. Taking our time off is never seen as a bad thing here. Management even pushes us to take our leaves from time to time.

Cons

International Team: As our team are spread over many countries, it can be quite challenging to communicate and manage projects. The company culture is quite good though in minimizing the drawbacks of this. Early-Mid Stage Company: As a growing company, a lot of things are not as established as larger companies yet. Therefore we need to depend on our own initiatives to suggest and execute improvements.

Pros

-Great team: Everyone cares about their coworkers and the work that we are doing -Autonomy: I have creative control over my content creation tasks and feel responsible (and proud) for the work that is shared -Flexibility: There is never a dull day; I flow from project to project as needed, able to switch when possible -Great culture

Cons

-There's a learning curve, which is longer without a tech (IoT, Industry 4.0, AI) background. The first few weeks were spent learning by doing, a lot of reading, and asking questions, but provided a strong base knowledge for the work that is currently being done.
