Pros

This company is an excellent place for anyone looking to sharpen their technical and soft skills. You get hands-on experience solving real-world user problems and tackling highly challenging tasks. I personally grew a lot in terms of learning to work independently, communicating efficiently across teams, and adopting a user-centric mindset. If you want to see how features are built from the ground up, the learning curve here is rewarding.

Cons

The environment is high-pressure and can feel overwhelming. Requirements and deadlines change frequently, often with multiple features moving fast simultaneously, which makes long-term planning difficult. Additionally, the management style from leadership can feel exclusionary or "toxic" at times. It is a "sink or swim" environment; if you aren't immediately up to speed, the pressure from all directions becomes unsustainable.

Pros

High-Impact Mission: You would be building a platform that directly improves the lives of patients with chronic diseases through a free, gamified app. Massive Scalability: The company is growing rapidly, moving from 7 countries to a goal of 25 by the end of 2025, offering a chance to solve global-scale engineering problems.

Cons

Fast-Paced "Startup Culture": The environment is described as fast-moving, requiring a "roll up your sleeves" attitude and a strong "bias for action," which can lead to high pressure and long hours. Regulatory Complexity: Working in healthcare means dealing with strict ethical and regulatory guidelines, which adds significant complexity to backend development and data handling.

Pros

- Flexible working hours, more task-driven than just 9-5 job - Hybrid working mode and you can also request WFH if needed (just a notice with the direct manager) - Fancy building (not my pros but might be someone's), surrounded by a lot of mini-supermarkets so you can always have a small break during working hour - Interesting product (personally it is to me) that is operated worldwide (so you have the chance to explore more than just a local product) - THE PEOPLE! They are smart and motivated and energetic and knowledgable, which creates a perfect environment for people who wants to advance in career path, because the learning opportunities here are SIGNIFICANT

Cons

Not cons, but since Elfie is a startup so I think it is important to understand that the company moves extremely quick, tasks might be overwhelming if you are not used to the industry yet, and you are expected to perform right on the second week. It's not the most "chill" working environment.
