Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your work experience at Inkitt. I'm sorry you do not have a great work experience, and it's true that working at Inkitt isn't for everyone. Related to your comments on the high turnover rate and the toxic culture, we are working hard in these areas and are going to offer weekly Talent office hours to be available to listen to team concerns and to make sure everyone feels valued and belonging. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your review and I invite you to speak to the Talent Team so that we can continue to work on creating a great workplace.

Pros

+ Culture: ambitious people with valuable ideas, always ready to help, collaborate and contribute. + No-ego management: the leadership is open for feedback, encourages direct communication and leads by example. + Data is king: if you want to learn more about how to read and use the data in your daily work and transform it into decisions, this is the environment. At Inkitt decisions are driven by data, not someone's gut feeling + Self-growth opportunities: the company offers unlimited budget for books and promotes self-development on each level, while fosters attempting-and-failing-culture as an important pillar for taking the ownership mindset

Cons

- Processes: the company is still not big enough to have all the processes in place and that might be sometimes messy and frustrating, which on the flip side creates a lot of room for building it further, changing things and seeing results quite fast - Selection process: the process was a bit robotic and longer than expected, due to the fact the company is actively working on its optimization. Communication with the in-house recruiter was clear and fluid and an overall experience was very positive
