Pros

I’ve been at a few startups now (some successful, some not) and come to appreciate what is a very core, non-quantifiable indicator for an exceptional one… Energy. Throughout my interviews and now 5 months of working here (10 months in startup time), eporta has copious amounts of Energy (and continues to grow). This Energy comes from a great, diverse team who love to learn, have a good laugh and deliver. Its flat structure and openness mean no idea goes unnoticed or not explored. Aneeqa is a great leader who’s mastered the required superposition of a top CEO – looks to the future (leading) and executes on the here and now (managing) at the same time. Not only that, she’s brutally honest about the opportunity and risks we as a company are taking. No wool is pulled over your eyes here. Eporta has a very clear opportunity to truly disrupt and enhance an industry. Clear opportunity + great team = force to be reckoned with. Nuff' said.

Cons

Like all startups, this isn’t for fainted hearted, 9-5 paycheck collectors. Everybody at eporta is committed to the future and grinding hard at building a great career and company. Proverbial blood, sweat and maybe a sprinkle of tears (of joy?!) will be shed, but everyone knows they will be all the better for it. If you find it hard to work in an environment that’s in a constant state of flux and/or prefer to use bravado as a tool to force decisions, then this probably isn’t for you.

Pros

In the 4 years I spent working at eporta these were some of my top pro's:
 
 1. Amazing Leadership
 I joined eporta because I was looking for a great team that I could really trust and learn from. I remember early on Aneeqa (founder) said to me one of the truest things I've heard someone say about management: "people always think they'll be good managers because they've had bad managers in the past, so they know what not to do, but actually you learn way more from having amazing managers who show you what to do". She was the best example of this for me. She always took time for me and never shied away from giving me difficult feedback that I needed to hear.
 
 2. A learning culture. No blame no shame.
 Everyone in the team loves learning. There are so many different hobbies and interests and I think that translates to an amazing attitude in the team of seeing the whole process of building a company as something exciting and fascinating with so many opportunities for learning. Challenges are seen as opportunities to grow and mistakes are accepted, and used to make better decisions in future.
 
 3. Diversity
 While the hiring process is pretty rigorous now to make sure that everyone in the team is a good cultural fit, i.e. shares some of the same values, can communicate well, can take onboard feedback, is a learner, etc. there is a lot of diversity in the team. People are from all sorts of backgrounds and with all sorts of interests and generally are very different characters. More importantly I feel like these differences are actually really valued and embraced, which makes it a way more interesting place to work, and in my opinion more successful.

Cons

You will get a lot, and you will also give a lot.
 
 It's an intense place to work and you'll be thrown in the deep end. It's a fast growing, very ambitious company, and being part of that environment means putting pressure on yourself, and feeling the collective need to think fast, execute and deliver.
 
 I left in the end to follow some totally different passions not in the start-up world. My advice would be to make sure you really think through what you want and then be honest about it in the interview. If you're honest about where you're at and what skills you have / what you want to learn, then I trust the team to know if you'd be a good fit and whether you'll be happy there!
