Pros

Great company culture (can't stress this enough). The culture starts from the top! Macbook Pros and a good screen. Coffee and snacks. Friday feed!!! (Lunch from random places) Great team. Everyone is nice and very talented. "Nice days" - can take a day-off anytime (5 days)

Cons

Office used to be in Ponsonby - I love Ponsonby but it was a bit far from the CBD so commute took longer than usual - but manageable. Now, new office is 20 minutes from Britomart!

Pros

I started here recently, and have been overwhelmed by the positive and friendly reception I've received from the team. So far my experience has been incredibly wonderful, with an emphasis on collaboration and an overall drive to grow and move quickly. Benefits are uniquely amazing, including Nice Days and a yearly Work From Anywhere stipend. We are positioned to add a ton of positions this year, so growth potential is limitless~ I'm really excited for the future.

Cons

Since we're still in startup mode, we're still figuring things out. There aren't uniform processes set in place for everything yet, so if you struggle with a bit of ambiguity this might not be the right fit for you. However, if you love to figure things out, build processes and work together to discover best practices, this would be a great fit!
