Pros

Good health insurance... New macs if you consider that a perk..

Cons

They don't allow any telecommuting, in fact it is discouraged. The company culture is awful - it's a well known fact that there was infighting amongst the 3 founders. C level management is very hands off so if you can't resolve an issue w/your direct manager and you go to a C level they will give you lip service but not do anything. Very discouraging. Their business model is awful - they train developers in Nigeria and Kenya but make these folks pay for the training. Once the developers have completed training they work remotely for companies (mostly startups). Now if they paid the developers fairly it might not be a bad business model but they only pay the devs $5k! Yes $5K USD -- the company is making money hand over fist while essentially using these developers. The NYC staff salaries are ridiculously low given the amount of $ raised in their various rounds and Andela is based in NYC where the cost of living is so high, so the salaries are not on par. So in closing, they have a bad business model, awful company culture, very low salaries, and if you have ideas for improvement it falls on deaf ears.

Pros

Good culture A big young population if you are young Many opportunities to grow

Cons

Turning more corporate which is natural to streamline a growing company. Still sucks. Not so good pay but still expected since it is still growing and has a long way to go
