Pros

Woopra is a great company to grow with and to actually have an impact on the product. With such a small team, being around passionate people who can carry their weight is really important. Everyone here is hardworking and realizes what a great product we have. If you like actually doing things that matter and have an impact on the product, Woopra is the perfect place.

Cons

There's really not any major cons I can think of. I suppose the one downside is that with being a smaller company, perks and benefits that other bigger companies have aren't as many. Perhaps on my wishlist, I'd like to see a more flexible vacation/WFH policy and perhaps a monthly wellness stipend. However, not having these benefits is a small price to pay to be a part of such a great team and company.

Pros

As an engineer, the best thing about Woopra is the awesome technology they have built. Big data, distributed systems, microservices, containerization, lightning fast NOSQL queries, CLI tooling, dedicated hardware...It's an awesome stack. The next best thing is the team. My fellow employees really were a uniquely enjoyable bunch of people who were great to work with. Elie really knows how to hire good people. I felt there was a good work/life balance, reasonable attitude toward vacations, etc. All in all, you have the opportunity to make a huge impact, wear a lot of hats so to speak (and learn a wide range of skills as a result), and to see and feel the impact of your work.

Cons

Maybe a con or maybe not, depending on the individual, but the team is small, and it often falls to the individual to scope their projects, and make decisions about how best to proceed or how to interpret an end goal. It can sometimes feel like the total vision is not there or not communicated. It often becomes the employee's responsibility to define the work, and sometimes this leads to misunderstanding between teams and management. While this can be a hardship, it also opens up opportunities for you to learn and grow faster than you might in a different situation.

Pros

When I started at Woopra, my initial objective was to establish a marketing foundation that would allow us to grow and scale in the years to come. Reporting directly to the CEO put me in a unique position to learn from his expertise, collaborate across departments and gain an in-depth understanding of what it takes to build an organization. I’ve been in a marketing type role for 10+ years, but last year expressed the desire to move into a Partnerships function. After a deep conversation with our CEO discussing my career and growth goals, I was tasked with building out what this role might look like at Woopra and how I could contribute. Six months later, he promoted me to the Head of Partnerships role. I don’t think I would have ever had the opportunity to drastically switch career paths had it not been for the guidance and opportunity I’ve found here at Woopra. As a female in a leadership position, I feel blessed to have found a company that does not discriminate, supports my career and provides ongoing learning opportunities. The whole team is incredibly passionate and I’m inspired every day by their dedication and commitment to building this company and product.

Cons

This is definitely company where you're expected to be autonomous. You should thrive in the build vs. manage stage of an organization and be willing to help out other departments when necessary to GSD. We're still learning a lot and working together to establish the best processes across the team. If you're used to having everything already established, packaged and ready to go - it might be hard for you to adapt to this type of environment.
