Pros

Most of the colleagues are very helpful and swiftly lend you a hand when needed.

Cons

All the developers are being transferred to a variable payment scheme that actually decreases their earnings. Now you are getting paid based on how many sales the product does during the month. Unless you achieve at least 70% of the forecasted goal you won't get any variable and the fixed salary base has been reduced. This means you will earn less if goals are not achieved. This has two immediate consequences: - Everybody is focusing on the short term. You need to release new features no matter the cost. - Mid/Long term tasks are discarded. Nobody wants to work on tasks that don't have an impact on the bonus even if this will mean releasing low quality code.

Pros

Peopeo are amazing to work with

Cons

Management in the US is really poor. They claim to have strategies, but they keep changing them, so there's no solid direction. Regarding compensation, it feels like they're just squeezing employees to hit quotas. The longer I work here, the more I feel like an intern without a clear career path. They always push us to move fast, using the excuse of being a startup, but it just shows they don't have a good plan for the US market. Please learn how to be a good leader instead of just pushing and pressuring us. I've never seen such poor management.
