Still aligns with new fellows' goals

Pros

Facilities have greatly improved in the past few months since moving office spaces (Nairobi) Opportunity to learn from world class teams. Greater flexibility when it comes to working terms (depends on team and timezones)

Cons

Culture at scale is proving to be a challenge. Most of the current paths are geared towards earning more money for the company as opposed to the fellows' career goals. Senior fellows feel underpaid still as such talent retention has dropped. Working on a project for years at times hinders fellow growth. Company delays replacing fellows when they don't feel challenged on a partner project.

Pros

Andela gives you the opportunity to solve problems that actually make an impact on the world. The job is so much more satisfying than selling software or working at an overhyped startup. It's really cool when the daily aspects of your job provide value to top tech companies while also helping bring opportunity to underserved communities in developing countries.

Cons

Scaling any startup comes with its own set of challenges. Scaling an international startup that relies on human capital for growth is even more challenging. The leadership in place is great but when you are doing something unique for the first time there are definitely aspects of the job that are learned on the fly.
