Pluspunten

Good colleagues--most of the people who work at Declara are very intelligent and nice people.

Minpunten

Company leadership is impulsive and lacks a coherent strategy, even by startup standards. The result is constantly changing objectives and goals that cannot possible be attained with the time and technical resources available, pitting different teams against each other as everyone tries to "do the impossible." This has created a culture of intense negativity, blame, and distrust. Almost nothing is done to support employees' professional development (which is ironic because Declara is supposedly an adult learning company). Multiple senior executives that were known as good mentors and managers have been pushed out of the company. Very few vacation days (10 days/year).

Pluspunten

A team of mostly A-players. The company is fast paced. The team has built a fantastic product that is now selling itself. This is resulting in revenue generation at 20x of the old product. A startup that will probably complete a successful turnaround.

Minpunten

Transparency is improving but has room to improve. The vacation policy can definitely be better. Not much choice of eateries in the neighborhood.

Pluspunten

Declara's focus on transforming the way the world shares knowledge and how people learn is really important work. It also has a lot of positive social impact so I feel good/proud to work at Declara. The company is willing to experiment to get the product right and to grow the user based. It's so exciting to see the product getting better and better and see customers really loving what we have built. I appreciate my Declara family! The people who work at Declara are great, super smart and fun to work with and the leadership team are seasoned, humble and truly care. And it's dog friendly!

Minpunten

Like lots of start ups, the product has evolved over time and so true north wasn't always perfectly clear. But that time has allowed us to experiment and the product is looking great and getting lots of positive feedback. The company had gotten a bit too big too fast, but that's been addressed so we are back to being a lean and hungry team which is really good to see.
