Pros

- Generally good benefits - Offers ESPP - Working hour flexibility - fully remote - Great co-workers - Converging towards less trust and more control

Cons

- Compensation is good, but could be better - Problems with location integration, e.g. tax filings and a health plan that doesn’t compensate Denmarks governmental health plan well - Very feature and deadline focused - Not enough dedication to paying down technical debt

Going woke, product is suffering

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really enjoyed my time here until the end when they started implementing policies that are geared towards less qualified, but certain demographics.

Cons

Began getting pressure to promote people based on certain appearance characteristics as opposed to merit. Hiring process is more focused on this, and the overall product quality has suffered. They recently announced they're looking to sell, which tells you all you need to know considering the IPO was in 2021. I've never understood "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" as it's never about including, and always seems to be about excluding a certain demographic.
