Pros
- An international melting pot for some of greatest engineers in Europe. - Diverse pool of talents, where everyone is either 10X or T-shaped. - Fascinating problems to work on, right on the intersection of Arts and Technology. - You get to attend one conference of choice a year, anywhere in the world. - Swedish benefits (parental, health, etc) and the work-life balance are really great.
Cons
- Completely inadequate compensation, with huge disparity between STO and NYC. - Bug-ridden tech stack full of tech debt. - Stock option program benefits only the upper management, with even the oldest employees left with minimal benefits. - No growth opportunities. - Irresponsible HR, mostly interested in scoring another international travel. - Cliques rule the company. - People are hired based on where they worked before, with existing talent passed over. - Hiring from big corporations affects the culture negatively. - Management responsible for the largest engineering mishaps of the past year - the Black Redesign and My Music - ends up getting promoted.
