Pros

I've genuinely enjoyed my experience at Smartness from day one. I've always felt supported, listened to, and trusted. One of the things I appreciate the most is the level of ownership I'm given over my work and processes: there's a lot of trust, but also the freedom to take initiative and make an impact. What truly stands out, though, are the people. Even though we're fully remote, it honestly feels like working side by side in the same office. Everyone is approachable, willing to help, and open to giving and receiving honest feedback. There's a strong sense of collaboration, and you never feel like you're facing challenges alone. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and there are moments of pressure, but hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Commitment and results are recognized, which makes the effort feel meaningful. A special mention goes to Danny and Alice. Their support, trust, and leadership have had a huge impact on my experience. They create an environment where people can grow, challenge themselves, and feel valued. Without them, my journey at Smartness simply wouldn't have been the same. 💜

Cons

The environment is demanding and moves very fast, so it's not the right fit for everyone. You need to be comfortable with change, ownership, and ambitious goals. If you're looking for a slower-paced or highly structured environment, you may find it challenging.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Reading that you feel trusted, supported and able to make an impact is incredibly rewarding. Those are exactly the kind of experiences we want people to have, regardless of where they work from. You're also right about one thing: this pace isn't for everyone. As we grow, one of our biggest challenges will be keeping the same culture while becoming a much larger company. Thanks again for being part of the journey. Smartness Team

Pros

After one year in the company, I can confidently say that I feel genuinely valued, both as a professional and as a person. The environment is challenging, but in a positive way: expectations are clear, the pace is stimulating, and you can clearly see the impact of your work on the business. There is a strong sense of ownership and trust, and good performance is recognized. It’s a place where you’re encouraged to grow, take responsibility, and continuously improve, while working with smart and motivated people.

Cons

Nothing major to point out. The pressure can be high at times, but it really depends on how you manage it. There are periods where you might work longer hours, yet without really feeling like you are “working,” thanks to the level of ownership and engagement.

Thank you for the transparent and honest feedback. Our sales model is intentionally SMB-focused and outbound-driven, and we strive to make this clear from the beginning. At the same time, we’re continuously investing in sales enablement, methodologies and tools to strengthen skill development over time. We appreciate the contribution and wish you all the best going forward. Smartness Team
