Pros
Red Points is one of the fastest high-growth SaaS companies in Barcelona and Europe. The company has had several rounds of investment and is now experiencing an exciting period of time: from startup to scaleup, which comes with exponential growth opportunities. It is a fast-paced environment. If you’re ambitious, hard-worker and think out of the box, there are opportunities for you to grow. I’ve seen some really good examples of people that have been promoted or have changed departments to pursue their career paths in very little time. Working at a high-growth scaleup sets the standards high. But this is also combined with a lot of flexibility to propose new mechanisms to improve existing methodologies or processes. I joined because I fell in love with the product and saw an incredible market potential. I am happy to see that our product keeps evolving fast to keep serving our customers’ needs. The Marketing team is one of the most goals-oriented one I’ve ever seen. I believe Marketing and Sales have to work as a whole entity and we are seeing every time more and more alignment between both departments. What I really like the most about Red Points is the people. I feel surrounded by really smart individuals and that makes me want to improve day by day. The culture is also strong: collaboration, hard-work, sense of urgency, respect and commitment. All these are values often communicated by our CEO. HR supports middle and low management with feedback and trainings. This is especially helpful for first-time managers. Also, the environment is very international and English and Spanish lessons are offered.
Cons
The company is still in a period of time where mechanisms and processes are being put on place. This is very common in scaleups in the same stage. But this is also an opportunity if you have fresh ideas that can improve things. We are agile and need to adapt fast. If something doesn’t work, we need to change it. We are in a stage where you can still see a lot of changes, but that’s part of the game. We are setting the rules in the market and for that we need to test, analyze and learn fast.
