Andela reviews

Heavily VC funded, it's doubtful by this auther that the founders vision will be fully realized, especially if they need to grow the company during challenging times. Approximately once every 18 months, for the last 3-4 years - there have been waves of layoffs. Attrition at the staff level (not engineering talent) is significant - sometimes without any warning. I've seen top performers being asked to give more, weekends, holidays, etc - only to be released with no advance warning or reasonable explanation. When times get challenging - nobody is safe.

This is my personal view but a year ago I would have rated the company a 4 or 5 and that, unfortunately, is no longer the case. It's no secret that there has been many organizational and leadership changes, which is par for the course within a startup, but the management of these changes has been very poorly executed. The company also has an identity crisis about the type of company that they are and where they fit in the marketplace. It doesn't feel like they have found product-market fit and struggle increasingly because they have also lost a number of good people who actually cared about the impact of what they're doing. Nowadays there is a general sense of apathy and lack of compassion and higher-ups do not want to hear anything negative about the company or processes, even when it is constructive criticism that will help the company.
