Pros

The three things that characterise work at Movemeback are: the culture, the talent and the people. I spent 18 months helping to build the organisation and from day one I was made to feel like a member of the family. We work hard, have fun and learn from each other. Everyone is incredibly talented, smart, accomplished and hardworking yet personable. What stood out to me is the time the founders spent investing in the team. Everyone I worked with improved quickly. On top of that, the work itself is rewarding. You feel like you are building a start up whilst helping to equip a continent for a brighter future

Cons

I joined at a very early stage so didn’t experience the benefits of working in a big team with several functional specialists but that was a part of the challenge too

Pros

I have been at MMB in various roles (full-time, part-time and ambassador) for almost three years. Pros: - You are treated as an equal and not just as an employee - You get to choose your career path. - You have access to the management team and founders. The company has a very flat organizational structure and is very transparent - You learn a lot in a short period, and although the learning curve is steep, the team is patient. - Your opinions matter, and you can shape the future of the company, especially its strategy. - The work is challenging, stimulating and meaningful. Your intellectual rigour develops rapidly there. - Continued learning is part of the company culture - The founders support your academic and career aspirations out of work. The team maintains excellent relationships with ex-employees (once part of the family, always part of the family) - The team is supportive, and the leaders are humble - You get to work for a company that is transforming the lives of people by helping reverse brain drain in Africa.

Cons

- The founders are among the smartest people I know and are also very careful when it comes to significant decisions. At times I've wished decisions could be made a little faster, but I understand why they are not. - As someone who's worked both on-site and remotely, I think more one-on-ones and feedback for remote workers would be helpful. In other words, communication with remote employees can be improved to be more in-line with the communication with on-site employees.

Pros

Nothing to be frank. Perhaps the friends I made there

Cons

CEO was very dismissive to the plight of workers. One friend from Kenya was evacuated because he wasn’t paid
