Don't fall for empty promises - Anonymous employee Koosmik Employee Review

I arrived at Koosmik in July 2019 as part of an internship. From Day 1, the CEO welcomed me with open arms. I became part of the team, and was given important responsibilities even if I had solely a junior status. I was brought along to multiple high-caliber events (Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Vivatech 2019 & more recently CES 2020). Pro's: - Laudable vision: Fighting for financial inclusion in West Africa - New ideas are encouraged and appreciated - A culture of "doing" is promoted - A positive vibe can be felt in the office (e.g. team lunch is often the norm) - All employees are empowered, even when at the low end of the organizational structure - CEO walks the talk. Expects others to do the same. - Top management keeps its word: I was promised to go to CES 2020 and I did indeed attend the show in Las Vegas. - There are talented people in the team coming from diverse backgrounds. A lot can be learned from each other.

- Communication between different departments could be improved - A clearer pecking order for projects should be defined, as they can sometimes get lost in the weeds

Great spirit, founded and managed by geeks and entrepreneurs (not financial banksters) Staff is very skilled and experienced, even interns Every great idea can be heard and everybody belongs (enhanced multicultural and diversity) Financial Inclusion is a great sustainable mission

No confort zone at all Very hard to match expectations and commitment of the existing team, highly demanding staff, maybe too much results driven Not a company for the average motivated person Since 2020 recruitment only open to candidates speaking english and with a previous employer or colleague recommendation
