Pros

As good employer as you can get. Amazing benefits, really valuing work-life balance and mental/physical wellbeing of the employees, really personal approach of a manager to each direct report, culture is the key thing. Recommending it everywhere I go.

Cons

Recent layoffs impacted Prague office notably, laying off 40% of the employees here. That kind of broke the soul of the office and it's not the same place it used to be. There is a chance it will revive but I don't have huge hopes.

We understand how painful and unsettling this moment has been. Saying goodbye to talented and valued Workmates is never easy and we’re appreciative of their contributions in helping shape the company’s journey. Workdays committed to supporting those affected during this transition.
