Pros

It's an educational app designed for children, offers remote work, and might provide a decent salary.

Cons

It's difficult to trust Rubia and Sumantra's good intentions, considering how they treat their employees and run the NGO. A previous review from a computer programmer encapsulates some of these issues. It was an incredibly traumatic and deeply disappointing experience to go through. I'm relieved that I left.

Jakob Holgersson, the person behind this review, was let go from our team because of performance reasons (contrary to what he disingenuously implied, he didn't choose to leave) and because he failed to improve his performance after several rounds of feedback. When we informed him that we were unfortunately having to part ways with him, he told us that he was devastated at being let go, which we now find puzzling if working with us had indeed been such a disappointing experience for him. The only other thing we'll add is that his review is significantly different from the numerous positive reviews that we've received on Glassdoor from so many other current and former team members, some of whom have worked with us for years and years. Nevertheless, we wish him all the best for the future.

Pros

Very hard-working team + management that really cares about making a positive difference in the world

Cons

Not a con necessarily (depends on what you are looking for from a job), but you will be expected to work really hard. But the work is fun, so I certainly have no complaints.

Pros

You get to work with and learn from some seriously talented team members. Flexible working hours. Knowing that your work is helping underprivileged kids around the world as opposed to just being a job from which you earn a paycheck.

Cons

The deadlines given are sometimes tough, but that is to be expected from an organisation that wants to change the world.
