What are some startups that you’d like to work for?
Startup ecosystem seems to be going through a tough time recently.
with less money infused in the market, and all the big player laying off employees, companies stooping so low in the name of cutting down the cost and news about some companies treating their employees like shit.
Still my optimistic ass believes that it can’t all be that bad, right? and things might get better.
Here’s my question to the community, what are some companies you would like to work for and why(apart from money 😉)?
TLDR : There's no golden list of startups that would turn out to be amazing to work at.
I've never heard of a startup that is unquestionably good to work for.
Over 80% opportunities will fall into a combo of (1) good startup + bad manager and team, (2) bad startup + good manager and team.
Based on my experience + xp of peers, the only time working at a startup has been fruitful is when we knew at least 1 of the founding members personally.
This gave us an unfiltered view of the team's ability to succeed and how the culture may look like.
So yes, a very subjective question. The list of suitable startups varies based on your work style and preferences.
very insightful 👍
