Pros

The technology developed at Aiven solves a unique technical problem. No one else in the market is doing anything close to this level of innovation. Staff here are open minded and lean on experimenting with ideas rather than spending a long time pontificating on ideas. It's also very easy to be human here. The commitment to improving the open source world is wonderful.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a challenge if one needs a clear direction. Because the company is open to ideas there is not always a clear yes or no (but rather a let's try attitude).

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
