Pros

Some things that have not changed are the great people - our software engineers and colleagues are a pleasure to work with. There are some people who genuinely care about the trajectory of the company and the work that they do, especially people who joined when Andela was still very much a mission-driven org.

Cons

This is my personal view but a year ago I would have rated the company a 4 or 5 and that, unfortunately, is no longer the case. It's no secret that there has been many organizational and leadership changes, which is par for the course within a startup, but the management of these changes has been very poorly executed. The company also has an identity crisis about the type of company that they are and where they fit in the marketplace. It doesn't feel like they have found product-market fit and struggle increasingly because they have also lost a number of good people who actually cared about the impact of what they're doing. Nowadays there is a general sense of apathy and lack of compassion and higher-ups do not want to hear anything negative about the company or processes, even when it is constructive criticism that will help the company.
