SafetyWing Reviews

For some people not having an office to go to and see people every day is a con. Another potential con is that every individual on the team is trusted to take initiative and responsibility in their own area. This is a great environment for some to thrive, but if you find it hard to do work if nobody is actively keeping an eye on you it might not be for you. There are no expectations of working unreasonable hours and with an enforced holiday policy of MINIMUM 20 days, SafetyWing takes work/life balance seriously. But given the autonomy of each individual, it might be hard to strike a balance for people who put a lot of pressure on themselves since there is always more to do in a growing startup.

It would be nice to receive more detailed feedback instead of an auto rejection with a generic response after 2 interviews. The CEO was ill-prepared for the interview as he barely seemed to know my name and definitely did not even review my CV before hand. The interview questions were things like "what makes a decent person?". How is that relevant to company cultural fit or a determination of my commercial product management skills? Truly, all the best to folks who can even get through 6(!) rounds of interviews! Why are people who are not skilled product managers (and have never even been product managers) involved in hiring product managers? Are CEOs not busy running the business? And shouldn't they trust their people to do make the right hires?
