Pros

Great team that was built during better times

Cons

Before current CEO came in it was a great place to work. Warm and friendly environment, highly skilled colleagues, above average benefits, company events and gatherings. When he came, things began to go down. Budget cuts, events came down to none, no salary increases, no promotion, stupid and clueless reorganisations. The worst things are deconstruction of once great company culture and hiring useless "Kanban facilitators" when laying off engineers, justifying it by "cost saving"

Pros

The best part is the people (everyone is nice and very capable at their job). Lots of autonomy (opportunity to own your deliverables end to end), and a modern tech stack.

Cons

Biggest issue is job security (regular layoffs and sudden firings). No 401k matching, growth is limited by small teams, and there's a lack of strategic direction from leadership.
