Pros
Colleagues are exceptional - kind, genuine and very skilled (especially "old-timers", 4+ years, many now leaving/left). By far the best company I have ever worked for the first few years (started in 2012). Product & technology.
Cons
Communication is and has always been terrible. No more yearly summits or even regional events - beyond the salary, what more do employees have to look forward to? Thoma Bravo (new owners) has seriously wounded the company - at least in the non-R&D departments (namely Finance, HR, Marketing). Culture and Swedish values - once alive and well (at least in Sweden) are now dead and buried. Open & straightforward, move fast, teamwork for results, challenge - once real and tangible, has now entered the realm of meaningless corporate messaging. Deaf management - critical issues and solid suggestions for improvement are often ignored until things really hit the fan, often many months or even years later. Leadership, or lack thereof - now just figureheads for Thoma Bravo, have zero credibility. Now key focus is on headcount/operating profit/squeezing every penny out of people with zero regard for the long-term and often with disastrous consequences as a result - an example, one person on the payroll team left voluntarily, however a decision was made to spread their workload among the rest of the team without hiring a replacement. Within 6-8 months, everyone on that team burned-out and all 4-5 people all quit or went on sick leave and had to be replaced without a proper handover of duties - seriously stupid, way more expensive and totally foreseeable.
