Pros
There is plenty of information online about Neverware and how great it is to work here, but until you take a look for yourself you might not fully understand what we are about. It’s no surprise that candidates are skeptical about how much we brag about the experience at Neverware. The first pro starts with the interview process. As a candidate the process is setup so that you can evaluate us as a company just as much as the company is evaluating you. It’s important that a candidate is sold on us as much as they sell themselves to us. That’s why we invest a lot of time up front getting to know you and showing you what we are about. Once you are part of the Neverware team the process continues to be a benefit to you since it finds qualified and friendly colleagues you can trust to do their part in the mission of the company. You also get to be part of the interviewing process since we invite current team members to give input on candidates as they progress through the process. Transparency is also big at Neverware. Everyone is encouraged to stay in the loop on how the company is doing and what is coming down the pipeline. There are no big surprises. Okay I lied there are some surprises like random food appearing in the kitchen and the occasional puppy party. None where one day we close up shop because we ran out of money or we decide to pivot into selling magic legumes. As a Neverware employee you get full transparency on how we earn and spend our money. Weekly and monthly company meetings are available to take a peek into what other departments are up to and our CEO always welcomes questions about what’s going on in the big picture. These are just a couple of pros that I feel are hard to communicate in short bullet points on our website. As I mentioned in the beginning there is plenty of info about us regarding benefits like unlimited PTO and flexible working hours/location.
Cons
I’ve only been here for a relatively short time and I’m lucky so far to not have experienced any real pain while at Neverware but I’ve heard the stories from when we were struggling financially to get our feet under ourselves. The fact that we are a small startup will always be a potential risk. I think there is also the risk of can we keep up this great culture and environment as we grow larger as a team and as a business. This will be something that will take effort to preserve as we grow.
