Pros

Good benefits (even though they are being cut now). Good flexibility. Working from home and remote work options. Management tries (but sometimes fails) to keep you in the loop

Cons

Low job security due to layoffs. Multiple failed attempts to reorganize the company to improve the ability to deliver projects and products which left employees uncertain about what their actual role is and colleagues uncertain about who to talk to for what. Very slow decision making which leads to slow delivery and very little progress. Company feels like it's at a stand still, nothing is moving forward. Chaotic organization. High emotional and psychological stress. Difficult cooperation with people as everyone is stressed, angry and anxious. Low salary. No pay transparency - they've been talking about improving this but nothing has happened for years now.

Pros

Up until about 2020 the company was doing good. Colleagues were mainly decent humans.

Cons

The company is severly discriminating women, but it's all nicely hushed and covered up in a fake belief about diversity and inclusion. It's mainly men supporting men in leadership, which after two rounds of layoffs is clearly not doing them much good. They are reluctant to change their models which clearly dont work in today's market. their bad decision making has led the company to two big rounds of layoffs. The leadership team is clearly incapable of leading in stormy weather. The whole management needs changing.

Pros

- excellent C-Level Leadership - good ethics - good engineering - product love - nice and interesting people

Cons

- "People-pleasing culture" - average salary - slow decision processes - for me personal: the inclusion and empowerment of junior and not-so-skilled devs resulted in my exclusion because the clash of knowledge was too big.
