What are co-workers like at YouCanBook.me?

Pros

- Inspiring founders with great vision, instincts, care for the customer and the staff. They truly lead by example. - Fantastic team. Everyone cares, trusts, goes the extra mile, is friendly and humble. There are no egos to manage in the company - The customer is at the heart of everything. I've never seen any company so customer-driven - There's a lot of autonomy and trust. Everyone is focused on doing their best job - Oh and can we talk about the product? It's pretty outstanding (and it´s not just me saying it - tons of die-hard fans leaving reviews across the web!) and it's just fantastic to know that you can contribute to save people's time and allow them to be more productivity - Fully remote and with people from all over the world - Great culture - Top benefits!!!

Cons

Pretty much in my honeymoon phase (it has the potential to go on for years!) so it's hard to find cons.

Advice to Management

Keep up the fantastic work! Let's embrace growth while preserving this beautiful culture. Feel so grateful and inspired to be part of this team.

Pros

The people at YouCanBook.me are wonderful. It's a small, totally remote, and fully distributed team and that's embedded into the culture. Everyone is dedicated, insightful, and great to work with. The product itself is great and still has room for improvement and growth. It's exciting to work on such a well-established product that still has immense opportunity to grow. And there's the opportunity for personal advancement and career progression, including training and courses. There are also many other perks and benefits, one of which is summits where everyone meets up to work and spend time together.

Cons

Being so driven and full of ideas means we sometimes have to make hard calls about what we can realistically achieve.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

UK salary, that's the only advantage.

Cons

- Over managing. - Micromanaging instead of focusing on improving the company. - They fired almost the entire eng team in the middle of the pandemic. - Forget about using best practices, have regular meetings to improve... - No respect for the personal/work conciliation balance, especially during the pandemic.

Advice to Management

You have such a great product that you could have the BEST team possible, but it seems that you are determined to kill the great things that happen to you.

Pros

Dedicated employees around the world building something great. Amazing benefits, unlimited time off, company retreats to exotic locations.

Cons

Hard to find cons. Small team so feature releases can take some time, but that will change with growing the team.

Advice to Management

The vision and direction are great, keep it up!

Pros

Sounds a bit cheesy but honestly the biggest pro is the team. Very friendly people and super easy to work with across all departments. Always a great deal of respect between everyone even when disagreeing on how to go about something. Nobody is going to be bugging you day-to-day asking you to randomly do this and that and messaging you to check if you're actually working. People are trusted to be self-motivated and go about their work in whatever way is more productive to them. Public salaries internally alongside transparent and frequent finance updates. Clear salary/bonus progression system that rewards loyalty and performance inside the company. Occasional company/department wide get togethers in varying locations are a great way to bond and have fun together while still being able to get some brainstorming done over major topics. (Did I mention the amazing food??)

Cons

Cons in my day-to-day experience are mostly: - Some great ideas get shelved for a long time due to a simple lack of man power as everyone is often already busy tackling something else. - Even though it's a lot better since I joined over a year ago, and we are actively trying to modernize the entire code base, there's still a huge amount of legacy code left running in production with very inconsistent architectural decisions, poor documentation and lackluster testing. That naturally leads to weird bugs and makes some features a pain to develop. If what you're looking for is mainly a state-of-the-art code base to work on, we will get there eventually, but at the time of writing this review it would be a poor fit for you.
