Pros

- People are nice - Office is not an open space (each floor is divided into small rooms for around 3 people) - Working hybrid twice a week

Cons

- Working with an unmaintained, outdated, horrendous legacy codebase - Lots and lots of bad practices - No product management, which means you'll do both.. - No QA in some teams which means you'll spend your time firefighting bugs and production issues - Lousy benefits: barely any employee welfare, low 10bis, not enough kitchen supplies, gift on Rosh HaShana was a cheap bottle of wine and honey.. - Company always trying to be cheap in general - Bad working conditions: No macs, company forces you to work via Remote Desktop app called Citrix instead of locally (which obviously has issues absolutely all the time)

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
