Anima Reviews

During my interview process for Anima, someone told me that a year on I'd look back and find myself unrecognisable. They were right. The growth you go on here is astounding, and unlike anything I've experienced at other companies. You're given ownership and autonomy, and you're encouraged to keep pushing your own limits. The environment is energising too. Everyone is locked in and genuinely passionate about what they do. I've learned more in my 18 months here than I did in the six years before it. Everyone has their own reason for joining Anima. Mine was the mission. I'd bet a fair few people reading this have spent most of their careers in SaaS, solving 'pain'. And I'd guess that when you're in the pub trying to explain that 'pain' to your friends, their eyes glaze over. Anima isn't like that. Every single person I tell about our mission, their eyes light up. This is something that affects nearly everyone I know, and getting to take on that challenge day in, day out is a privilege I don't take for granted. The last thing, and probably the most important, is the people. You couldn't wish to meet a better group than the ones who work here. I've made friends at Anima I'll keep for the rest of my life. The clearest proof of that is our offsites. I've worked remotely for the last six years, so I've been on plenty of offsites at various companies, and I used to dread them. At Anima I spend the whole year looking forward to them. At other places I'd end up pretending to be someone I wasn't, whether that was tweaking my accent slightly or feigning interest in things I didn't actually care about, all to fit in. None of that matters here. I'm just me, and that's refreshing. It means every interaction I have at work is a completely genuine one.
