Flexible, supports growth, and feels like family

Pros

Flexible work environment. Supported by my manager in my professional development. You have the ability to carve out your own career path and your voice is actually heard. The culture is unlike any company I've ever worked for; my coworkers feel more like friends.

Cons

Like every startup, there are some bumps in the road, along with a considerable amount of ambiguity. It could be difficult for someone who is used to working in a super structured environment with processes in place.

'People first' and 'Company in a sweet-spot'

Pros

- humility and genuine care for people- nice things happen without any agenda - amazing opportunities for impact and personal growth- flat hierarchies (we don't have levels which changes a lot of behaviours in positive ways) - truly agile: build, measure, learn and do it all over again - interesting roles which aren't common- which insurance related business has a someone looking after coaching & wellbeing or a behavioural psychologist? - true flexibility- we are empowered to work in a way that suits us best - we have interesting business problems to solve for and aim to disrupt the market: we have the capabilities and means to go after big business opportunities which is exciting!

Cons

- nowhere is perfect and whilst insurance didn't seem too sexy to me to begin with- I do get increasingly excited by it. - we do have still some work to do in the people space- but make great progress and did some cool stuff without compromising on our values and who we want to be

Pros

The culture is very supportive and enables you to learn and grow within your field and in many other areas. It's a stable business with solid funding allowing for experimentation towards company growth is possible.

Cons

It's coming out of some growing pains, going from medium to larger company will always have them, but the vision is there and I'm sure it will settle quickly.
