Pros

7 weeks of vacation Remote work Good interview process

Cons

I joined Alva labs with many expectations , a company which talks about diversity and inclusion, while they accomplished the diversity part , there is no such things as inclusion in Alva Labs.. the core team is mainly Swedish ..who don’t want to understand anyone who is not Swedish ! If any one says otherwise is driven out eventually They talk alot psychological safety, the also arranged a session..but sadly they listen and just ignore..if there a problem then its you Micro management by alot of people .. for example the head of sales wants everyones cameras on every meeting so she can see people’s expressions when she is talking.Even being on Maternity leave ..she held meetings and was always active..building up pressure for people who take time off ..not a good example set I was so excited when i joined Alva labs however ,was very disappointed.Sales itself is a difficult profession..its important to have a good team which sadly Alva was not!

Worst management ever

Pros

Company has a good mission and some good job benefits.

Cons

This company loves to call itself a rocket ship. Only resemblance with the rocket is the speed of key people leaving (including one of the founders, key product people, most of the sales team) and the only resemblance with the ship is Titanic. Reason for this is bad management. In the sales department that is the worst. Person in charge of the sales department and sales managers don´t have competence or skills for the role, which resulted in most of the department leaving. The culture in the company is toxic. If you are considering to take a role in Alva Labs, don´t take it. If you are not member of inner circle, proper Swede (hello D&I) and unless you are blindly following all the say and forget to think with your own head, you can easily get fired and replace with unpaid interns.

Pros

Flexibility, good equipment, international colleagues.

Cons

The whole organisation, managers, work methods (for instance, cronyism instead of quality hirings and promotions). Suggestion for people applying for Alva Labs is to try it out for a bit, especially if it's an entry position, but then get out as soon as the first red flags show. Trust your gut, as many others who have left Alva Labs for better jobs.
