Pros

For a company with such a wide and all encompassing vision, Liven is a place where you can still come to work every day and push the company forward. After narrowly avoiding the age old startup problem of just adding human capital in order to scale, Liven is now moving towards a place where people who love to innovate products and processes can feel right at home. The people are energetic and ambitious, and the leadership have put in a concerted effort to make the culture one centred around self improvement and job fulfilment.

Cons

Company ambition at times has caused us to get ahead of ourselves and exaggerate our internal reality when facing external parties. Due to the flat hierarchy, individuals can strive for more autonomy and leave behind business critical work. Typical growing pains associated with early stage companies who understand and see that hyper growth is so close.

Pros

- Progressive leadership team very open to new initiatives to better the company. - A full agile environment with a flat hierarchy and an org structure fantastic for innovation and creativity across the business. - Some very talented people who are aligned with the right values for Liven to grow and achieve it's full potential. - An incredible vision that is very exciting. Liven doesn't want to settle for mediocre. Liven is going to solve a global problem and we finally have the team to do it! - The team is now primed for growth with the right personnel. Others who weren't prepped for hyper-growth have made way for fresh new talent to take us to the next level. - Global aspirations which make it a very exciting prospect for those looking to travel as Liven scales. - Some of Australia's best food groups already on board. - Culture is currently being developed which can't be said of many startups. Using Officevibe to enable the company to get better.

Cons

- At times, Liven can be very challenging and stressful. With that being said, this is a fast-growing startup and you have to be equipped with the resilience and persistence in this environment. - Founders can be too involved at times but they are significantly improving this as we scale and they upskill.
