There are some nice people in the Dublin and Berlin offices. (Although the Berlin office is now nearly empty.)
Actual ceilings, which are very helpful if you value sound not traveling too far. (Although everyone still wears headphones, it's a loud office regardless.)
Recommend getting reviews on managers you'll be working under; quality is a bit hit and miss, with large differences.
Severe lack of promotion and growth opportunities. I saw multiple people who were waiting for suitable projects to display they deserved a promotion. While management was convinced they deserved it, they would string people along without taking action.
High turnover of managers; none of mine lasted a year. Strong recommendation against joining a team with a manager who hasn't been at the company for less than two years in a management role.
High employee turnover.
High degree of politics makes it hard to stand out as a non-US developer.
Male-dominated culture; very little diversity is present. Engineering is almost entirely male.
Company claims to believe in meritocracy.
Open-plan office.
Company is skimping on providing a properly heated (winter) or cooled (summer) environment. Climate control is only active on workdays during business hours, making the office freezing cold during winters (all Monday because the heating needs to counter an entire weekend without heating, and each morning until a night's worth of cold has been evicted). A lot of people use blankets.
Accessible toilet is used as a storage cabinet.
Travel ban kicks in earlier and earlier each year as a cost-saving measure.
Either invest in your remote offices, or close them.
Also, invest in your managers.
The most inefficient process I have ever been through. Did the first technical interview; it was okay. It was a pair programming code exercise, an easy/medium LeetCode question, then some queries into the database, inner joins, and etc. Some questio
Very unprofessional HR and management. When a candidate invests 7 to 8 hours giving interviews, HR and management do not even have the basic ethics to inform the outcome of the process, even after several follow-ups and reminders. They don't even t
Worst company I've interviewed for! Starting from the recruiter till my first phone round, everything has been bad. The recruiter hardly gets back, and you'll have to follow up with her multiple times. The phone interviewer was the worst; he would
