Pros

I met some friendly people

Cons

Carry1st is a toxic company which will bully you the first chance they get. You aren’t joining a fun gaming company but a company with the culture of an investment bank (all the top management are from investments banks). So expect to be available all the time, micro managed and bullied if you are not. Be ready to experience all the stuff that comes with working for an investment bank without the perk (a large salary). Run from this company. It felt toxic from the first day and in the interview, if you feel this way trust your gut and don’t ignore it like I did

Pros

The people are amazing - and the work is incredibly interesting, and Carry1st is very focused on hiring the right people from all over the world and directing them to one of the fastest growing and biggest market opportunities in the world right now - consumer Internet/payments/gaming in Africa. Every colleague is a joy to work with, is diverse in their background and highly experienced. The cofounders are incredible leaders that are grounded, inspiring, and hard-working. You are trusted and empowered to do your best work, and not micromanaged at all.

Cons

With coworkers all over the world, but mostly concentrated in Africa and Europe, finding good times to meet and collaborate together can be tricky.
