Pros
Waterplan has a strong mission that has remained central since I joined as one of the early team members. I’m glad to see that this mission is followed with increasing energy and passion as we grow. The flexibility to work from anywhere is a major benefit. Leadership is open to feedback and operates with a high level of transparency, which creates a positive work environment. As someone with a scientific background, I appreciate how well my skills align with my role here. Waterplan is one of the fastest-growing startups, and it’s exciting to be part of this dynamic journey.
Cons
Like most startups, priorities can shift quickly, and adapting to these changes can be challenging. The fast-paced environment sometimes requires extended working hours. While remote work is flexible, it also limits opportunities for face-to-face collaboration and you tend to miss that human touch. The decision-making process can vary, with some minor decisions taking a long time, while bigger ones can be approved very quickly. This can be challenging to navigate at times.
