Pros
I’ve been here for just over a year now, and the best way to describe the culture simply is "refreshing". With working relationships built on mutual respect for each other's expertise, the people are genuinely kind, with no room for big egos. There’s no gatekeeping either. If someone discovers something new, they share it. If you reach out when you're struggling, people don't ignore the cry for help, they jump in to help you figure it out. There’s no micromanaging, with a very 'level-feeling' work environment. If you have a good idea, it doesn’t matter if you started yesterday or five years ago—leadership actually listens. Plus there is real celebration of unique perspectives and input. People are trusted to get their work done, and you feel motivated to do a job well for the sake of your teammates. Remote working is becoming a thing of the past, but at Vidsy, the remote working prevails. This enables for a real work-life balance, sacrificing none of your life to commuting, with a structure for keeping you feeling involved despite working apart. The addition of having an office to work at if you fancy some face-to-face time with colleagues is then a big bonus.
Cons
Office has UHT milk instead of fresh, takes a while to adjust
