Toxic workplace, inept management

Business Outlook

Pros

- Annual "Wise Days" trip to Estonia. Probably going to be phased out - Some of the developers are good - Attractive new Austin office

Cons

- Toxic work environment. Management bullies people into talking badly about others behind their backs - Employees are often fired without notice and with no severance, even if they are on work visas - Management is inexperienced and consistently makes bad business decisions, costing the company millions - Middle management walks around in suits every day showing off their rolexes, while most of the employees (customer service) are making minimum wage - Company is trying hard to be a FAANG, but doesn't understand marketing, and doesn't pay enough to attract decent talent
