Pros

The company offers a flexible schedule that allows for remote work and provides a good level of autonomy for its employees. While the pay is decent, it may not be on par with some of the larger IT corporations. Despite this, the company boasts a team of highly skilled and experienced engineers who are still actively involved.

Cons

Over the past 5+ years, the company has lacked a clear strategy. The CEO has been preoccupied with hiring a competent Chief Product Officer for a prolonged period, resulting in misaligned products and a lack of a convincing customer narrative. Additionally, the marketing department is heavily influenced by nepotism, which has negatively impacted its performance. The sales team appears to be either chasing improbable opportunities or not putting in enough effort. The company's tendency to make questionable acquisitions often results in prompt layoffs.

On behalf of the HR and senior management team, I would like to thank you for your candid feedback. Please know that we take your comments very seriously and have been working behind the scenes to make improvements on how to communicate strategy. I would also like to encourage you to personally reach out to me to elaborate on areas of improvement. In regard to the performance of the Sales and Marketing teams, I can say that a concerted effort is being made by HR to track performance more systematically across the board. Once there are robust following the company's ongoing performance review policy which delivers concrete metrics we will be better in the position to identify those who are underperforming to the detriment of those in their immediate teams and the company's success as a whole. ` VPHR Ilia Lykov
