Pros
A huge positive is the culture at SAPI, we seem to put a great emphasis on hiring bright, friendly people, so the overall vibe is lovely. Our core hours (11 - 4) work really well for collaborating between London and Vietnam offices, as well as allowing for flexibility in your own schedule. Whole company does 1 day (Wednesdays currently) in the office, so it is valuable to come in as you see everyone, On the tech side we have some great people with a good vision. We seem to balance well between moving quickly and upholding engineering excellence - to be expected of a startup. Being a small tech team we have opportunity to take on ambitious projects/initiatives, and some very talented engineers, so there are many opportunities and challenges that allow you to grow and learn professionally.
Cons
We are beginning to settle on a product/model that works for us, but we have been through a variety of changes so that always creates a bit of chaos. But this is also standard startup life. Sometimes selling the value of addressing tech debt can be difficult internally, which makes delivering new features much slower/flaky over time. Again also small growing business standard issue!
