Pros

- Amazing engineering team where you will always feel supported, get to work on a variety of interesting tasks. Always feel like a team rather than competing with others. - Don't feel like a cog in the wheel, my work I do and my voice is valued - Great company culture - Good pay & perks

Cons

The Auckland office is moving away from a flexible remote working situation, at least one day a week in the office is required now.

Hi there, Thanks so much for your thoughtful review — we're thrilled to hear how supported you feel by your teammates and how much you value the culture, variety of work, and sense of contribution at AskNicely. That’s exactly the environment we aim to create. We also want to acknowledge your comment about our hybrid working approach. While we’ve never operated as a remote-first company, we remain fully committed to a flexible hybrid model that balances autonomy with in-person connection. Requiring one day a week in the Auckland office is intended to support collaboration, culture, and team alignment — and we believe it's a very flexible setup compared to many other companies in our industry. We appreciate you sharing this perspective, and we’ll continue to listen and evolve as our team and work environment grows. Thanks again for your feedback!

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!
