Pros

Profitable product. The company stays afloat and is able to pursue new markets. Comfortable office. Great view, enough space for everyone. Interesting people.

Cons

Lack of strategy and top management experience. Organizational structure and processes often change. Teams become reformed before they reach peak performance. Limited understanding of talents retention value, except in the risk of immediate damage. Reactive attitude to changes on the job market. The environment is tough and hectic for founders direct subordinates. Startup mentality. Founders try to accelerate hiring and product plans, even they realistically can not handle headcount and ongoing operations. Tech debt. Management is often not willing to pay off tech debt. Tech improvements are implemented irregularly and top engineering resources are wasted to pay tech debt interest, resolving system instabilities, fixing of reoccurring issues. Engineers end up rewriting different parts of the system from time to time, rather than keeping existing parts in a good shape. No paid leaves during the first year.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive for continuous improvements and have since brought onboard two senior members of staff, Head of Engineering and Head of People (HR) to build on our success as well as to help with our growth and expansion. We are dedicated to looking after employee well-being and have put in additional resources towards retention and sustainable recruitment. At the same time, we are focusing on boosting our continued growth even further to maintain our competitive edge whilst balancing the needs for addressing tech debts and of course, maintenance. We have also updated our benefits timelines and offerings (including but not limited to annual leaves) to better align with employee needs as we have grown into a more mature "startup". Thank you once again for your feedback.
