      Great place to work, people live out the company values

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to work with a lot of autonomy to do what matters. Fellow team members truly live out the company values CREDIT. There have been crises at times, but as with any company of a decent size (close to a thousand employees), mistakes are bound to be made and the effect are compounded by the amount of public exposure that comes with being of that size. What is important is that everyone from literally all faces of the earth comes together to work together to face the crises and learn from the mistakes, while at the same time not putting any blame.

      Cons

      Not really a con but rather a challenge: contractor arrangement for people from most countries can be challenging and even disadvantageous.

      Pros

      The company adheres to the CREDIT values. Everything is transparent and can be found within the company website. If it's not there and you think it should be, you can create a merge request to update the website with the missing knowledge.

      Cons

      The handbook and onboarding process is intensive. Due to the iterative nature and the massive growth of the company in a short period of time, it makes sense that there are some broken links. You can also be pulled into multiple directions at once. After the first few weeks you begin to learn what the real priorities are. If you don't know, ask...

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! You make a great point about having the freedom to make changes or additions when you see a need -- just one example of our mission ("everyone can contribute") playing out in our daily work. We also really appreciate your feedback on the onboarding process. We're always iterating on the new-hire experience as we continue to grow, and this type of input helps us get better.
