Pento

If you're someone that loves a challenge and likes to get your hands dirty, you'll love Pento. You really can get involved in all types of projects because it's a really collaborative team. Coming from a different domain but the same scope (Finance) it's really blown my mind how much we can impact our customers without layers of bureaucracy getting in the way!

We're a collaborative team that asks each other for help. We give productive feedback and all work towards getting the best results. It's a great experience working with likeminded people!

I love the fact that access to therapy/counselling has been prioritised. It's good to know that our mental health is important. Whether it's personal or work related, knowing that support is available is a highly underrated benefit of working here : )

Pento management is really trying to improve in every way possible and that includes how progression works and making sure it's clear and that everyone knows how and what it's needed to get better and evolve. It's great to have an objective guideline and goals.

At Pento work is usually recognised in more than one way, be it by the great reviews that are shared constantly coming from customers but also internally by teammates by having dedicated channels to share accomplishments and giving kudos. It's great knowing that your work is impactful.

At Pento compensation is aligned according market benchmarks but also having fair points that are taken into account such as experience and alignment with company values.

There is a refreshing amount of focus on having the best person doing any given role. I've seen countless role changes across the team since joining 18 months ago (some times even across different functions). There is so much opportunity and feel that the sky's the limit if you have the right combination of work ethic + ability. Kudos to the team!

One of the first things that caught my eye about Pento was that they really are a remote-first business. I love no longer having to be tied to a specific location; I've been able to work several months this year in different European cities, coming back to London in between and seeing the team in our London based office (which is not mandatory to go into!). I don't have strict working hours and absolutely love the unlimited holiday policy; you just know that the business has been formed with you as an employee/shareholder front of mind.

As in any early stage startup, you're often times baptised with lava! With so much growth comes undiscovered waters - that said, most of your learning comes from doing. It's a really challenging environment + way of building out your skillset, but definitely the most rewarding. The team is very well rounded and we have a lot of expertise to draw on. I've been learning every day since I got here!

The bar is high & getting higher, and especially with the new leadership, I feel stretched but also really growing and developing at a fast pace. The philosophy is very much 'we'll give you all the context we have, and we'll tell you the Outcome, but You go figure out the How' and it's really energising.

I've met some of the smartest people I've ever worked with here - and it's not even an age thing, some of them are really young, but total powehouses.

The principles (what we call values) have been revised recently and we're really embedding them into how we work. I love 'Own Your Impact' - it's really about us, how if we drive things forward the only limit is ourselves, and I have the freedom to drive change here.

I only joined Pento recently, but have already learnt so much from the smart people here. I've also already had opportunities for doing more formal learning through courses, and budget is set aside to help with that.

At Pento, the hierarchy is fairly flat and it's easy to get the best ideas realised. In our all-hands, leadership prioritises answering people's questions and feedback.

I've only been around a short while and in that time both our product and GTM motion has evolved so quickly it's sometimes hard to keep up. I'm incredibly optimistic about our trajectory.
