Pros
Personally, my experience at Minerva Research Labs has been really good. As every company nothing is perfect and there are busy times and overwhelmed staff. However, I have always had the support of my manager and colleagues and I have learned a great deal over a year and a half. In spite of other reviews, I have grown within the company fairly quickly and I feel my work is very appreciated. Working environment (obviously it can vary in each department so I speak mostly about mine) has always been impecable. We truly care about each other and we have become some sort of small family.
Cons
Since this is a small/medium company that is growing so fast there’s not a great project process in place. We turn to improvisation to dodge obstacles but to be 100% honest this seems to be changing in the past months and I hope for more processes to be put in place. On the bright side, tackling problems is a great way to get to know the company better and to push your strengths. At times work-life balance can be a struggle, however Flexible working hours have been implemented almost a year ago which means we can work additional time Monday to Friday to be able to leave work at 13:00 on Friday. This feels great!
