Pros

I previously wrote the review "Decent company, some growing pains" in Oct 22. Nearly all those positives have vanished.

Cons

Used to be a pretty decent company, as little as 18 months ago. product / engineering management (note me not saying leadership) have turned into complete [profanity filter]'s There is 0% space for anything that the team suggests. All our work the past 12 months has been dictated by senior leadership directly. Do this, then this, then this. and do it this way, in this order, or else. We're saddled with mountains of BS from the US then given no chance to fix it, but we know it's not their fault, because the same is happening to those teams. People and entire teams we work with constantly disappear with no notice. Job security is week-to-week here, at best. Constant silent layoffs that aren't spoken about, constant forcing us to launch incomplete and broken features, and all the short term thinking and cost cutting stinks to high heaven of a private equity acquisition. The entire company has gone down the toilet over the last 18 months and no-one trusts a single word leadership says any more. Most of us are waiting for either a severance package or for the market to get better so we can find other jobs. My reason for posting another review is for people looking at job listings: DON'T APPLY HERE. I know the market is really bad, but you'll just work extremely long hours on maintaining broken rubbish you aren't allowed to fix properly and then probably get fired for someone even cheaper when we get bought out anyway.
