Pros
Autonomous teams - We have squads focused on products and we have freedom to innovate, set our goals and choose our priorities.
Company culture - The environment is perfect to learn, share knowledge, collaborate, have fun and create meaningful connections. I have made real friends here and this is specially useful for expats.
Agile mindset - Here is a mix of Scrum with the Spotify model plus a little bit of our own spice. People welcome experimentation and strive for continuous improvement.
Challenge - Chama is the pioneer and leader in its market in Brazil so it’s a challenge to pave the way and find product market fit. There are lots of things happening at the same time so you will not be bored, everyday is different.
Cons
Hire velocity - As a startup, Chama needs to hire faster, both for development and C-level.
Information management - Knowledge of specific parts of the code is concentrate in a few developers. There is a risk of loosing information when one developer leaves the company.
