Pros

Andela seems to have a knack in attracting awesome, talented individuals - there's good energy in the organization and they value human interaction even though they're a remote company. The veneer of a positive, collaborative culture is very real - but only as resilient as the week on week performance of the business. When times are great - there's no better place to be.

Cons

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.
