Pros
- Laid back office - Hybrid work arrangement - Flexible hours - On-site Gym - Breakfast/Lunch provided - Clients love our products. I've never had clients giving shout outs for feature releases on social media before but it is inspiring to hear how much a difference our products make for them. - Our products have tangible benefits to the community by improving health outcomes. - Minimal red-tape - VALDCon! Once a year all staff from all over the world come to HQ for a week of learning, events and knowledge transfer. It generates a real sense of community that helps once everyone goes back home. - When building product the focus primarily is on if our users will want it. Very rarely is it a cost/benefit discussion. Senior Management take the view of just building the product we want and trusting that the money will follow. - The business has a promising ARR trajectory and has been meeting it's targets.
Kontras
- Minimal red-tape sometimes results in having to find your own way on how to work something out (which can be good or bad depending on the situation) - Frustration at times not being able to deliver product at a pace I'd like due to technical hurdles (this is something we are getting better at as we mature and scale) - Business is still growing and maturing. Whilst on the one hand it is nice to be part of that journey and help shape it. On the other hand sometimes it can be frustrating.
