Pros
I have recently been hired - this review may change as time goes by.
- The Convexity system: a set of 13 pillars that define the way people work and interact inside the company.
- The Engineering team is full of very technically talented people. Combined with benevolence and an emphasis on sharing knowledge (they build a learning platform after all), this means you will always be learning new things.
- Career progress: I haven't reached that stage yet, but it's theoretically well crafted (for the Engineering Team at the very least) and based on factual accomplishments, not just pure negotiation skills.
- Very interesting technical challenges.
- Very good work-life balance ("Your life, your way").
Additional notes for anyone regarding Convexity: it isn't a fancy name given just to stand out from other companies: it REALLY is a part of the company's culture, and they are proud of it.
You will feel at home if:
- You are autonomous: people mostly work asynchronously and from home, at the hours that you want, without many meetings during the week unless really needed.
- You are rational, impactful and result driven: you like things backed up by data, and not just words.
- You like transparency and assume responsibility.
- You can give and receive benevolent feedback.
- You are eager to learn and progress, not just sit back and wait.
Cons
- Intense but very educating onboarding.
- The Convexity system: you either love it, or you hate it.
