Advice to Management

Always do Propeller the Propeller way. A challenging task no doubt but it is the foundation of its success and the success of its employees.

Pros

At Propeller I’m privileged to work with some of the smartest and genuine people I have ever worked with. The culture is incredibly supportive and inclusive which creates a space to do your best work. From the interview to the on-boarding process it was well organised and thought out .
The environment is self-driven and there is a huge amount of ownership available to be taken on new projects. The office is great, the team is hardworking and fun, and the founders are super approachable.

Pros

- There is an amazing attitude towards trying and failing. Not in the annoying startup "fail fast" type of way, but in a way that makes it safe to be hugely ambitious, and has your back if you make mistakes along the way
- Lots of fun. I honestly love coming to work every day. The people I work with are both incredibly smart and incredibly humble
- Big challenges: The work is hard and there isn't a blueprint for what we're doing. I find this motivating
- Leadership that empowers you to make your own decisions

Advice to Management

Keep hiring standards high

Pros

- Propeller is picky about who it hires. Only seriously excellent people make the cut. Being part of such a high-quality team feels amazing. It pushes and inspires you to do your best work.
- The culture here is the best I've ever known. There is zero tolerance for any of that toxic workplace politics stuff. Seriously. No bad-mouthing people behind their backs, no trampling on others to get ahead. I've never felt anything less than 100% encouraged and supported by every single team member.
- Though I'm based in Sydney, I've been lucky enough to spend some time in Propeller's Denver office, which was a great experience. With offices in the US and Australia, and remote workers scattered across the globe, there are some travel opportunities available.
- As a woman, support for me in this male-dominated workplace (and sector) has been explicit and unwavering.

Advice to Management

- Maintain high standards when it comes to hiring.
- Maintain commitment to flexible work practices.
- Maintain commitment to diversity within the team.

Pros

I've worked in startups, non-profits and consultancies and I can honestly say i'm happiest at Propeller. I think this is because of the team culture and the very high standard of work across all areas of the business. I feel this in the fortnightly demo sessions, retros, and collaborations across technical/business teams.

I think a lot of this can be attributed to good hiring and a culture that empowers people to take ownership of an area and deliver their best work. I think we are getting a good mix of young/older experience, as well as tech/industry experience.

The strong team in part comes down to having founders with a good instinct for hiring, but also because Propeller is a place you would be happy to recommend to your friends and previous colleagues.

The company is quite flat but has a strong structure of teams aligned with areas of the business/product/customer. The founders are quite accessible at our current size, but teams have strong autonomy as well. It's great to be located in Surry Hills but also good to have some remote flexibility available to help with work life balance and when you need to focus.

I'm optimistic about the companies prospects and am glad to contribute one of the many pieces that we need to grow and succeed.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing.

Distribute responsibility as liberally as possible.

Keep asking for feedback and course correct if a decision needs changing.

Pros

Brilliant place to work.

Fast paced, lots of responsibility and autonomy, great office, and get to work with bleeding edge technologies.

The employees are absolutely the best in their field and are keen to share their skills.
