Pros
- The founder has previous experience building and selling a successful company. The management team is also made up of people with diverse backgrounds. Compared to the other two startups I've worked for, Wizeline has far fewer hiccups and frustrating episodes caused by lack of experience. - I've seen Wizeline grow from a handful of people to 200 and counting, and in that time many employees have been promoted to newly opened positions or have switched teams/projects that better align with their interests. It's awesome to work for a company that's open to internal promotions and lateral moves. - Client-focused startup. I like working on things that impact a client right away and seeing this process up close at an early stage company. - Healthy culture and fun work environment: amazing co-workers, free meals, good coffee and snacks, and lots of optional team activities like basketball, frisbee, language classes, tech talks, and happy hours.
Cons
- The company is growing fast in multiple ways: ~10 people starting a week, 3 offices (San Francisco, Guadalajara, Ho Chi Minh City) and counting, onboarding new projects and clients frequently. It can be stressful.
