Pros

Genuine leadership. High-quality product and design. Leadership team is down-to-earth and kind. The company culture is great.

Cons

My experience was primarily working on the Operations team. The leadership on this team was extremely burnt out. The team was far too small and stretched too thin, leading to high stress, long hours, miscommunication, mistakes and hostility from certain OPS leaders. I was the subject of hostility from the OPS director, which only made matters worse. This team gets very overlooked by the executive team and the least support. Things may have improved since I worked there, but if interviewing for an OPS role at AREA 17, be sure to ask plenty of detailed questions, particularly about expectations, team morale, and organization of the team.

Dear writer, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about AREA 17! We’re happy to hear that you consider our leadership as kind, and down-to-earth. It’s what we aspire to be as a company, and it’s important that our leaders indeed breathe that aspiration. We feel this is what allows us to build a great team, and deliver the high-quality work that makes us proud. We are sorry to hear your experience in the Operations team was not what you expected it to be. Working in Operations is versatile and demanding and can be a stressful environment. It’s something we actively work to stay ahead of, not only in the Operations team but in the overall team as well. We take all of your feedback to heart and aim to improve and learn from all of it, so thank you for sharing. All the best!

Pros

The opportunity to work and share with amazing colleagues from different parts of the world. People really enthusiastic about their work and the development of an idea.

Cons

After a year, you might have to move on to other roles inside the company or change your job because there're little possibilities to grow your technical skills set.
