JetBrains is rotting from top down - Prefer Not to State JetBrains Employee Review

Hello, Thank you for your review and for mentioning some of the benefits of working at JetBrains, such as PTO, insurance, the office environment, and learning opportunities. At the same time, we're sorry to hear about your frustrations and negative experiences. We value your feedback. At the moment our company is undergoing changes, which is an organic and inevitable part of the organization's growth and is in alignment with the long-term goals of the company. We recognize that some change initiatives can potentially pose additional challenges and would like to address the concerns you raised in your review. Management changes and culture of promotions: JetBrains has always been committed to a merit-based promotion process based on individual performance, as well as to offering all employees equal growth opportunities. This is ensured by a transparent and open grading system, implementation of the 360-degree performance review process, annual data-driven salary benchmarking, and continuous leadership education. Each promotion or salary change undergoes multiple internal checks to ensure transparency, neutrality, and fairness in the decision-making process. At JetBrains, we do not tolerate any sort of discrimination, nepotism, or unfair practices. If you have personally or indirectly experienced anything that would be considered such, we encourage you to reach out to us, e.g. via ethics@jetbrains.com, as we consider this unacceptable and would want to investigate further. Changes in the teams’ structures and support from HR: We understand the importance of job security and strong team dynamics. The HR team is dedicated to improving team cohesion, employee well-being, and guiding you on growth and opportunities within the company during this time of change and transition. To provide specific assistance, we welcome your confidential feedback, which you can share with the HR or Management teams through the available internal feedback channels. Language inclusivity: We recognize the importance of clear communication and fostering language inclusivity. The organization offers various language learning opportunities for everyone. While we are an international company, English is our official language, and English proficiency is a mandatory requirement for all roles at JetBrains. On the whole, we strive to maintain a supportive work environment, provide clear communication, and remain transparent during this transition period. We also highly value feedback as a tool for improvement, and we are constantly working to enhance internal feedback channels. Thank you once again for your input. We'll continue working hard to improve our work environment based on your feedback.
