Pros
8fit is in a major growth phase – user acquisition is off the charts and the company recently raised capital, so there's a lot of opportunity to contribute new ideas across functions, from product to marketing to content. The team is also growing quickly to support that user growth and our ambitious goals – and 8fit recruits from everywhere! The team is very international, with several languages spoken in the office daily. The CEO encourages transparency and collaboration in our approach, and we're constantly testing and iterating on ideas, so it's a fast-paced, fun environment with opportunity to lead projects and take ownership of your work and your own success. 8fit also offers some pretty great perks: we get together every Friday for a healthy lunch, have a gym benefit and often meet up for fitness-related activities, and the company also organizes an (optional) offsite in the winter months to escape the Berlin grey - so we're heading top Thailand as a team in February!
Cons
As with any small, growing startup, there are some growing pains as we work to figure out processes, tools, systems, team structure, etc and how to scale the company effectively, but the management team is working to ensuring we're not growing too fast or too big without figuring out those things first and is communicative and transparent about the goings-on, so there's trust and visibility across teams.
