Pros

- Incredibly talented team members - open work environment - Dog-friendly office - Team summits and in-person meetups, dinners and team events - Benefits and decent pay remote/hybrid work options

Kontras

- Incredibly poor upper management - Too many last minute changes that require immediate attention, calling a lack of prioritisation and effective communication - One of the most unstable work environments that I have ever stepped foot in. - The mission is aspirational, the product is subpar at best - The treatment of certain departments (i.e. data, engineering) is treated in a superior fashion, not allowing other departments to grow as quickly or with as much emphasis - Everything that they preach (i.e. diversity, supporting work-life balance, hybrid work) is superficial and done at such a rate to appeal investors, it is appalling - Clear sense of lack of ownership, ingenuity, and superficiality - They claim to care about their authors and their users, but there is a clear sense that they lack the support or resources to care for the evolution of each employee’s career growth - They are hyper focused on business objectives and lack the empathy to follow through on caring about the well-being of their team as a whole. - Huge sense of burnout across all departments and roles due to lack of clarity of how they prioritise projects - there is still a sense that the CEO does not fully trust all of his staff, including the Leadership team, which is a huge red flag - They move fast; but in a sense make too many irreversible mistakes that cost them a lot of time, energy, and resources - especially when it comes to one’s mental capacity to move forward

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you feel this way about our working environment. Our aspiration is to create a work environment where employees, driven by our mission as our north star, are empowered and enabled to work independently towards their goals. There are many cases of employees who exemplify this aim. But we're constantly working on how we can improve the culture and our way of working so that even more employees can operate in this manner. In many cases where it is not the case, there have also perhaps been good reasons. Work at Inkitt can be dynamic and challenging at times. We do also offer unlimited paid time off and encourage employees to take the necessary time off from work to always rest and recharge. We encourage open communication, especially with your team managers to address these needs.

Kontras

Inkitt is a fast-paced start-up with no set playbook. People who love structure and need to be managed and told what to do may find it challenging.

Pros

Inkitt is one of the few places that actually sits between tech and media in a way that works. A manuscript comes in, real reader behavior tells you whether the story has legs, and the team turns that signal into a career for the author. I think about reader retention and narrative pacing in the same conversation now, which I didn't before.

Kontras

The flip side is that the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Some weeks you're inventing the process while running it. Energizing if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you don't. Worth being honest with yourself about which camp you're in before signing on.
