Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Pros: - Everyone is very good, technically and as people, and the peasants like us support each other.
- The office is quite nice.
- Benefits are not bad.
Cons: - All the upper management seems lost. They say things, and then roll back, with no time to develop stuff, and super tight deadlines.
- There's a clear discrepancy of "us vs them" and an almost cult-like culture to the CEO.
- Since the union and CBA agreements, the company looks like it's driven by an evil mastermind that is plotting against all the employees just like in dystopic movies.
- All the things that are done "for the employees" are just a facade for more work.
- You can't trust any of the words from upper management because whatever they say, it will almost always be reverted and go back to haunt everyone.
- They are slowly making the place impossible to work so people quit since they've been on the AI tour for no reason at all.
- The core principles are amazing on paper, but don't translate in reality.
- Salary is VERY low. A quick market search will show Klarna pays at least 20% less than everyone else and covers it up in "on calls".
- RSUs and stock options are monopoly money.
