Hi there, Thank you for your review. We are really pleased to hear that you agree with us on calling Inkitt an ambitious start-up, which is what we are indeed! However, it is equally sad to hear that you did not share the same sentiments with the work-life balance the company could offer. We are currently working hard against this problem and streamlining the work life balance across departments. We are also doing our best to make everyone feel heard and belonging. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your review and we wish you all the best. Inkitt Talent Team

Pros

- Being able to lead projects independently from A to Z and be trusted for it - Engaging daily with a creative and passionate team - Being part of exciting new projects in a fast-paced, fast-evolving industry - Steep learning curve, you'll be pushed out of your comfort zone and grow fast

Cons

Inkitt is a fast-paced start-up with no set playbook. People who love structure and need to be managed and told what to do may find it challenging.

Pros

Inkitt is one of the few places that actually sits between tech and media in a way that works. A manuscript comes in, real reader behavior tells you whether the story has legs, and the team turns that signal into a career for the author. I think about reader retention and narrative pacing in the same conversation now, which I didn't before.

Cons

The flip side is that the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Some weeks you're inventing the process while running it. Energizing if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you don't. Worth being honest with yourself about which camp you're in before signing on.
