Pros
- Central office in Stockholm - Hack weeks - Good tech colleagues (the ones that are left, slowly leaving and a lot good people already left) - Flexible hours. - Paypal - Good brand for CV
Cons
These are mainly for the technical department - Pension contribution below expectations for a company this size. - More managers and less developer headcount. - Lack of technical vision when building scalable systems. - The big influx of developers they hired this last 2 years ago, is leaving which are mainly A & B players and were key for the tech culture. - No trust is given to new talented hires on their ideas, their knowledge or skillset. - No recognition of other peoples hard work on key projects, only key persons (i.e: favoritism gets recognised). - Ideas get stolen, no recognition for hard working newcomers with a fresh mindset as mentioned on the previous point. - Developer compensation below market value. - Lack of knowledge sharing. - No flat decision making. - No place for smart people, as their innovation and suggestions get shot down without context to the problem. - You can find decisions made by external parties to teams without understanding the teams problem on the domain, leading to bad decision making. - No interest on team building, some teams leads do not have passion to strength the bonds between team members.
