Pros

People trust each other and take ownership of their work. A global team with diverse backgrounds. Flexible and relaxed working culture. The market opportunity is huge, Aiven has all it takes to do very well. The company is European with Finnish roots, which I like. A technical co-founder team who champions for open source.

Cons

Growing pains as every high-growth company has and covid-19 has not made growth and keeping up the culture any easier.

Pros

Great people focused on solving hard problems associated with how data moves inside of an organization and gets consumed downstream by AI and applications. Strong new leadership team has the company moving in the right direction. Truly international company with HQ in Finland and vibrant offices in other really cool locations (Cork, Austin, London). Come here if you want to be challenged but also celebrated for your contributions.

Cons

We compete for customers against some of the largest software companies in the world, so the challenge is real. But we are winning.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
