Pros
Meaningful Mission: STAGE isn’t just another OTT platform — it’s building something culturally rooted, giving a stage to regional languages, dialects, and stories that are often overlooked. As a developer, it feels rewarding to contribute to a product that impacts millions of users and celebrates diversity.
Challenging & Exciting Tech: Working on Android, iOS, and TV apps has been a fantastic learning curve. The platform is evolving quickly, and I’ve had the chance to work on everything from optimizing streaming performance to creating seamless multi-device experiences.
Ownership & Growth: Unlike bigger corporations where roles are rigid, here you get real ownership of modules, features, and problem-solving. My ideas were valued and implemented, which gave me both confidence and growth.
Supportive Team & Leadership: The leadership is approachable, vision-driven, and genuinely supportive. The team feels like a family, open to brainstorming, experimenting, and pushing creative boundaries.
Work Culture: Flexible environment, startup energy, and a strong focus on learning. It’s motivating to work with passionate people who believe in the product.
Cons
Being a fast-growing startup, sometimes priorities shift quickly. It requires adaptability, but for those who thrive in dynamic environments, it’s actually a plus.
Resources can be stretched at times due to the startup pace, but this also means more opportunities to take ownership.
