      Avoid if possible - toxic culture spreading

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay was decent, promises of growth, share price to rise

      Cons

      The company appears to be under a cloud of toxic behaviours from all areas, seems to stem from a few of the C-Suite down to VP, Directors and managers worldwide. Friends have been hired in all levels, gossiping is frequent and as a result employees are all walking on eggshells otherwise they risk getting fired for "cost saving" purposes. If you have different veiws like on route to market than some of the legacy people then your pretty much done within 1yr. Large reduction of HC was done in Q1 23 and the feedback from those affected was just horrifying how they where treated after years of service.

      CEO's Double Standards - A Tale of Hypocrisy

      Sales department
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This company used to have a strong foundation and a clear vision, making it a good place to work.

      Cons

      Addressing some of the concerns raised by my colleagues in their reviews, it's important to shed light on the company's less appealing side, which starts at the top with the CEO. One major issue is the CEO's tendency to hire friends from their previous company, essentially transforming the company into a social welfare network for their close circle. When financial pressures arise, and cost-cutting measures become necessary to boost cash flow, employees from various departments are laid off, except for the CEO's friends, who seem to enjoy immunity. An instance of the CEO's hypocrisy is evident during an all-hands meeting when he praised the Database team's exceptional performance, only to dismantle the team and lay off several employees in the very next meeting. Furthermore, any remaining valuable projects were reassigned to the CEO's friends, enabling him to take credit for their success while displacing more employees.
