Pros

Typeform really takes care of its people. When the pandemic hit, we all got a €1000 stimulus to create a home office. Lunch is included (€9 a day) through Cobee. If you're a designer you get a 4K screen and so on. The relocation package is generous and the move was simple and straightforward. The culture is friendly, welcoming, and working in the design team feels like a dream come true. You can expect your career as a product designer to develop in a natural way (thanks to the director of design).

Cons

-The tech debt is wide and deep; the backend is unruly but we are constantly expected to build features using it and hit OKRs. There are talks about speedups and code health but they live and die along the lines of "how is this connected to growth directly?" and "can you do it in a sprint or two?" -You'll get a "laptop" to work on. Make sure you negotiate for a 16" macbook Pro as part of your offer; otherwise they'll give you an entry level 13" pro you'll be stuck with. Upgrading equipment is shady, and some folks in IT support expect bribes in order to help you out. Bribes include these company coins (internal bonus points you can give others). -some teams don't have PMs so they have to figure things out as they go. But this is improving with new hires!

Pros

Been working at Typeform for the last 3 years and have to say I enjoyed almost every single day coming to the office. Apart from very thoughtful perks, like free organic lunches, gym membership, unlimited holidays, coffee and beer for free at Barception, and more... the culture is very healthy, honest and work focused. It is true that we are now on a journey for results, but it's an understandable transition while the company grows. Also, empathy around employees is very high. If you have a problem, need help with anything, most people are happy to jump in to help however they can. Work itself can be challenging, new things come up and also as any startup, you can "build your own adventure" and try to propose new initiatives, as long as you own them.

Cons

The downsides of working here would be the same as any startup. Lack of direction, you can feel a bit lost sometimes, and your recent work might go to the trash since strategies can change overnight. I understand sometimes it's not the nicest thing, but it's what I signed up for, so no complains.

Pros

Although typeform undergoes some changes, I do not agree with the negative ratings of my colleagues. I've worked for several startups in the past years and can say that typeform is not only a great place to work at but also an amazing opportunity for those who want to learn and grow. I think my experience in the startup world gives me a view on the status quo that is unbiased and based on facts and experience rather than personal opinions that are often stated as the truth. Yes, the company undergoes changes, changes that were urgently needed for the business in order to grow. Some of my colleagues look for an environment where you can hang out and chill. At the same time, they complain that nothing was moving in the past. Well, maybe you are part of the problem? Ever thought about that? Our C-level, that I work with regularly in person is actually truly outstanding - at least to me. They are skilled, fun and good people too - which is not always a given. I would want to know how many of the negative ratings have actually spoken to them to make up their opinion. Last but not least, I do not agree with the constant firing rumor. For me, any person that was let go so far was for a good reason. Either they were not skilled enough or they were looking for an environment where achievement and winning together was not on the top list of priorities - at least that is what I can observe from the outside as I have not worked close to all of them. I think it is not only the job of a Manager to take care of these things but also necessary to help others grow, especially when colleagues have a negative impact on teams or the company. I would be scared if my manager would not make a call in these cases. From colleagues to colleagues, to those who state their personal opinion based on rumors from angry people: Please leave the company as soon as possible. You are clearly not getting it and your personal opinion is not the truth.

Cons

The company currently undergoes changes that make it more challenging to achieve things, especially when you work with teams that lack skills and knowledge. I know that the company is working hard to bring in the right people and to upskill the others but it still causes some hiccups on the day2day.
