Pros

Inkitt is chock full of passionate, driven and smart people. It is one of the most nimble orgs I've been a part of, and I love that it's a tech company working on something creative with creative/innovative people. The people are what make companies great and I genuinely think there is something special about this group. Our CEO, and my fellow execs, are always pushing the boundaries of what can be done in this segment, pushing for novel thinking, and all care deeply about the people and our users. Folks that are successful here care a lot about what they are doing, are savvy with data, and think on their feet. Being around high performing people makes you better -- it's a fact.

Cons

Of course there are cons, but what startup doesn't have 'em ;). - We have a lot to do need more great people to help do it. - Consumer tech is hard(er). Priorities can shift quickly and we must all be thoughtful about where we focus our efforts. - We need better beer for happy hours / Candyjar release parties.

Pros

- I am surrounded by some of the smartest, most driven people. LOVE LOVE LOVE the people. You work hard but still find time to laugh - A fast-paced environment where you can actually build something new and see your impact right away - You'll learn fast and grow even faster by working on various projects and teams - Intense but collaborative culture—people help each other and celebrate wins together

Cons

- With people spread across time zones, it can be tricky to find overlap for collaboration - The to-do list never really ends—there’s always something new to tackle so you always have to prioritize

A "Rocket Ship" with a Mission That Matters

Pros

The Mission: This is the #1 pro. The company is genuinely focused on democratizing publishing and finding hidden talent using a data-driven approach. It feels good to work for a company that is disrupting a traditional industry and giving a platform to authors who might otherwise be overlooked. Impact & Ownership: Because it's a fast-moving startup, you get to take on a ton of responsibility. You can see your work directly impact the products (Inkitt, Galatea, and CandyJar) and the company's bottom line. Smart Team: You're surrounded by incredibly smart, passionate, and driven people from all over the world. The culture is very ambitious and focused on high performance. Growth: The company is growing at an incredible pace (a true "rocket ship"). This creates a lot of opportunities for personal and professional development if you're willing to seize them. The multi-app strategy (Inkitt for discovery, Galatea for immersive monetization, and CandyJar for new formats) is innovative and exciting.

Cons

As a high-growth startup, the pace is intense. It's not a relaxed 9-to-5. Processes are constantly being built and refined, which means you are frequently venturing outside your comfort zone. You have to be very adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity. Employees have autonomy and agency, which is liberating, but this also means each person is responsible for the outcomes of their work; there is no hiding. The flip side is the high velocity of learning and personal growth.
