Pros
  • Some smart and motivated colleagues.
  • Exposure to AWS, although for some this is a con.
Cons
  • Very long hours, typically 10-12.
  • Toxic, pushy management.
  • Very frugal; there was no budget for anything during COVID. Employees couldn't even expense headphones for 50 euros without negotiation.
  • PIP culture; the company's goal is to fire 10% of its employees.
Advice to Management

Fire 50% a year.
