Well paid, really stressful environment

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- top notch product - good benefits - well paid

Cons

- quarterly reviews: frequent quarterly evaluations lead to burnout and prioritize optics over long-term engineering quality. - hyper-competitive environment: The culture forces colleagues to fight for the best projects just to prove their worth, which kills the spirit of teamwork. - proposal fatigue: Constant pressure to 'innovate' by writing endless design docs and proposals is mandatory for everyone, leading to a lot of unnecessary 'busy work'.

Bad reputation

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some great coworkers Nice lunches in the office

Cons

Reputation loss on local labour market, caused mainly by political performance review processes and badly performed layoffs earlier 2025. Every CTO visit is literally causing panic in the office, people just afraid further layoffs. They do promote a quick firing culture on the daily basis. You can get fired for whatever reason and your voice is not being heard. PR stats driven culture. HR are not supportive at all, they play against people. The company is unable to attract top talent anymore due to the above. Weak local senior leadership.
