Pros

culture is phenomenal, transparency is through the roof, there is a strong sense of togetherness and there is very little friction between teams. Impact culture is prioritized above all and it works. The company encourages you to do you and use whatever you need to take your skill set to the max, with whatever resources (as long of course as it is impactful). Founders are right there with you in the frontlines which is great, there is no distancing between founders and other employees and all considered one big team (and not in the way that in other companies the CEO sends an email with "hello team" but you have never spoken to them...)

Cons

The impact first has its disadvantages. For a growing startup this is a must, but it will bite us in the future since other things are neglected unless its a crisis. While is the mentality that is needed for a startup to succeed, it is definitely not for everyone. The org structure is as flat as it could get, so if you like to have a boss, there is none. So its not for juniors that need guidance or seniors that are looking for a shiny title "principle engineer/architect/etc"

Pros

I joined Simply five years ago and was given the opportunity to step into a role despite not being a perfect on-paper match. The culture encourages initiative, independent thinking, and ownership, with good ideas taken seriously regardless of role or seniority. The people are strong professionally and genuinely kind, with low ego and minimal organizational politics. It is the best culture I have worked in.

Cons

This is not an environment for everyone. Simply is best suited for highly independent people who are comfortable with ambiguity, expected to lead end to end, and often work in multidisciplinary teams.
