Pros

You come for the mission, stay for the vibrant remote work atmosphere, and if you get to attend in-person offsites, the kool-aid is very appealing. Fully remote and very flexible working hours in majority of roles. And some of the smartest and most fun people I've worked with anywhere are giving all their energy and brain power to the work.

Cons

Politics. Layoffs. Fake diversity. Financial crisis. A deliberate turning of the ship away from the original mission, so now it's just another neo-colonial shill in a crowded market, trying to differentiate by developing superficial and unoriginal uses for genAI without doing anything truly innovative. Constant churn at exec level. Everyone asked to temporarily "do more with less" two years ago, and balance was never restored. If you're in a good team, you will be insulated from the worst of it, but if you have any exposure cross-functionally, you will then be completely shocked at the toxic atmosphere and lack of psychological safety in other teams and orgs. You could have the best manager possible, but the Andela machine does not care about individual workers, regardless of what they might say otherwise.
