Pros
Work from home (remote job) Team is friendly and works well together Not much office politics or paperwork Good bosses—they listen and help Chance to learn new things and grow
Kontras
Work can be fast and sometimes stressful Sometimes hard to talk to people in different time zones The company is growing fast, so things change a lot
Pros
Working at Adly has been a unique experience from the standard tech startups. It's entirely remote and a camera-off by default culture is amazing. The fast pace enables little red tape for more execution which you want from startups, while exposure to multiple companies and models has rapidly expanded my product thinking and sense. The whole makeup of people really make this company great, surrounded by smart and collaborative individuals. But the flexibility and ownership encouraged by management and leadership definitely is noticed and appreciated. As for PM's, instead of managing a single feature, flow, user, or KPI, you own entire product(s) from end to end, which is challenging but infinitely more rewarding. The quarterly bonuses don't hurt either!
Kontras
While Adly isn't perfect, what company is? The compensation could be more competitive and juggling multiple products can have its tradeoffs. With that, you may end up feeling stretched thin sometimes, for myself at least, these challenges have opened up opportunties to become more efficient and ultimately improve my prioritization and sync/async communication methodologies.
Pros
Working at Adly is a bit of a whirlwind since there are so many different companies in the ever-growing portfolio, but that's what makes it fun. It's impossible to get bored, and you're constantly exposed to emerging technologies and new strategies. The team is incredibly creative, and working cross-departmentally is expected and a breath of fresh air. Everyone is a joy to work with, and will always make time to help out, even if slightly out of their scope. There is a lot of autonomy, and all employees are encouraged to bring creative solutions and new initiatives to the table, allowing huge opportunities for skill development and career progression. You're only limited by your own initiative here.
Kontras
Fast-paced companies aren't for everyone, and since this is a portfolio of companies that function as startups, it takes a lot of mental energy to stay on top of changes. Adly is fully remote - this is a plus for a lot of people, and we do we awesome retreats to meet in person a few times each year, but some people need the in-person collaboration. It also means the onus is often on the employee to stay connected with going-ons.
