Pros

Friendly people overall Decent compensation

Cons

They told everyone that coming into the office is now expected for everyone, regardless of you being hired as a remote employee or not. They want remote employees to travel thousands of miles and stay overnight for a collaboration week or whatever every month. Absolute insanity.

Pros

- hired engineers are top 10% - engineers gets quite much freedom on technical things - salary was above average (not anymore)

Cons

- weak and most of the times incompetent leadership. Cronyism = friends hire other friends to C level - hire 100+ engineers in Q1 then layoff 60 in Q4 (not in same teams) - built a Ruby + Java based tech stack over years, hired ppl accordingly. Than decide to be a JS company - crunch time is heavy due to EU/US timezone diffs

Pros

You’ll work with some genuinely great, talented people.

Cons

Constant layoffs... every single year, with no real job stability. Most recent layoff cut top talent, only for the same roles to be reposted later at lower pay. After the private equity takeover, the company shifted entirely to shareholder-first thinking, not education or customers. Executive team lacks diversity (overwhelmingly male), which shows in the decision-making and company priorities. Pay is not competitive for the work required, and OTE targets are not realistically attainable. “Do more with less” became the permanent expectation as resources and support decreased. Culture, communication, benefits, and clarity all declined significantly after the acquisition. Leadership is disconnected, inconsistent, and lacks a clear strategic direction. Overall sense of chaos and reactivity rather than genuine planning. Employee well-being is not a priority.
