Pros

good product for small business

Cons

- the maternity leave was not approved, I was told that this was not "an act of the man" - unjustified dismissal after more than 5 years of successful work - blocked access to a personal laptop previously purchased from the company with all the private data, access to the banks, etc - gross interference in privacy, the company representatives called my newborn son "the evidence of romantic relationships" in the official documents - assumedly an attempt at forgery to fabricate a criminal case, I didn't have access to my things as if all my access cards were blocked. I received a box supposedly containing personal belongings, at the bottom of which I found confidential documents. It was assumed that I would not notice them and would take them out of the office. The documents were discovered by me and left at the company office Presumably, all actions are approved by the CEO

Pros

Valuable salary and benefits, highly experienced teammates, interesting tasks, and technology stack choice.

Cons

There is a very nervous and stressful atmosphere within the company at the moment. I doubt the management appreciates employees.

Pros

There are great people across departments, very strong product team, and overall nice benefits (if you will be lucky to stick around long enough to access those).

Cons

Multiple changes of direction (3-5 times a year a massive change in structure, strategy, etc), no stability. Higher management can't seem to decide where to go. After all the talks about how great the results are, literally next week absolutely random lay offs, letting go of people who are praised in their departments without any notice. One meeting and you are out after multiple years. No reason, no explanation. Just massive disappointment and fury. At least, people were paid smth on the way out though. But wow, that was unpleasant
