Pros

- Brilliant minds who are not afraid to have uncomfortable discussions. - Great work environment (aesthetic) , also the marketing team is spot on!

Cons

- Unfortunately the brilliance comes from employees and a few leaders and not everyone in leadership. - Poor leadership where employees' mental health is not a key focus rather performance and KPIs. - Too much privilege given to directors/managers hence compromising on transparency & integrity. E.g when reviewing employees' performance a line manager may declare their direct report to be under-performing, in most (if not all) cases there is no actual investigation of the same. Also, if the manager does not provide support for improvement, HR will look the other way waiting on the PIP (Performance Improvement Policy) to commence and eventually lapse with the notion of being compliant. - People / HR Team watches out for their own interest and not the employees', the fate of their own employment comes 1st always!

The company management think they are Gods and get to manipulate every situation. The recruitment process is pathetic and recruiters are biased and only hire "what they like" The management in Kenya lacks alot....there is no growth and expansion in operations!!!

Pros

- Really great coworkers. Friendly and intelligent. Feels like a team that has a clear mission. - Ability to make a positive impact on the world - Challenging work - culture of passion where tough goals are set and performance is monitored closely - They invest in your success. There are workshops to improve and the expectation is that every employee visits the offices in Africa. - Beautiful office space that feels homey.

Cons

- Salaries could be better, but these are the types of things you sacrifice to do some good in the world - Growing pains - really anything you can expect with a company that has only been around a couple years.
