Avantages
The people are the best reason to work anywhere, and Typeform delivers here. From the top down, everybody works hard while still keeping a chill attitude. Let's start with the founders. They compliment each other well, and are open to new ideas. They welcome good debate, and that's something that's been sorely lacking in my previous positions. They strongly believe in transparency, and that's something I'm not used to, but deeply appreciate. The culture is laid back, but still vibrant. People want to work hard for each other. There are team lunches 5 days a week. People regularly get together after work, probably because staff is a mishmash of people from all over Europe. English is the primary language with Spanish right behind. People are supportive of each other in ways that go beyond the workplace. As first glance, you might see the product as another form or survey tool, but it's much more than that. Typeform is a data collection tool most of all, but with a heavy emphasis on UX (user experience). This is its bread and butter and it's easy to get behind a quality product that has more depth than at first glance. Product versatility also allows "users" to do things that even the developers haven't imagined. That seems to keep staff inspired to keep adding more features and enhancements. Finally, there's a desire to help people do their best work. What good is talent if you don't get the most out of them? Typeform is putting into place a system of ongoing staff evaluations to ensure the talent fits the job to be done. This is so important to keeping and retaining the best talent. I want to grow professionally, and I feel that I will be supported in that growth. I get feedback from more than one person about what else I can bring to the company, and it's always encouraging to know that people care and want to see you do your best. People, product, purpose = optimistic that we can really build something great together.
Inconvénients
It's a startup, so many systems and processes are being developed on the fly. I appreciate the pickiness of the founders, but as a candidate, I could've been better informed regarding how the interview process would play out.
