Pros & Cons
n8n
- Exceptional remote-first culture with high trust, autonomy, and smart collaborative teammates
- Fast-growing open-source product with real impact — lots of ownership in a low-ego environment
- Hypergrowth means priorities shift frequently and processes are still being defined
- Startup intensity can be stressful; some concerns about product leadership direction
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
Bottom Line
n8n
One of the highest-rated companies on the list (4.5 Glassdoor, 90% recommend) — genuinely remote-first, async, transparent, and OSS-driven. Small headcount means limited specialization but broad ownership and real impact.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
