Pros

Sadly, it is all gone.

Cons

If you are developer looking for a job where you can unfold your creative power and make an impact - you need a certain environment. Intrinsic motivation is an inseperable part of production- and learning processes. Intrinsic motivation is the kind of motivation, you as a creative developer and learner have by yourself - because the learning and working process itself is pleasant and in best case perceived as entertaining. Work is done, because it is fun! This means, you will need a new kind of leadership. Leaders that do not crush your intrinsic motiviation but know that your motivation is way more important than what they have to say. Leaders that want you to communicate bi-directional and participate to exchange information that define the rules. Well, these leaders have left or are layed off. If you are looking for a work environment, where your intrinsic motivation is valued more than the power of upper managers and investors: LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Pros

This was in the past a company with creative people that made good products, but sadly this era is over.

Cons

Majority of the employees responsible for creating the good products and marketing of the past are now gone. New C-level board was assembled to fire people or create circumstances that encourage people to quit. Any care or empathy for its workers is gone. After comically indecisive and clueless leadership in the face of how businesses adapt to new opportunities, they now are in deep trouble.

We appreciate your feedback and acknowledge that it has been a difficult time at Native. Our strategy is to really focus on building upon our past successes and continue our transformation. In our 23 years, we've evolved from being a software company to an ecosystem company to now adding a platform vision. We appreciate change is difficult. That said, it is change that has helped NI become the company it is today and there are many of our employees who while understand that this is a difficult time, are supportive of the future and have the opportunity like any employee to post a review.
