Pros: The product is interesting, the company is not too large and not too bureaucratic. The office space is nice and there are interesting technical challenges.

Cons: The company never let go of startup mindset, leadership is mainly composed of those who were there since the beginning and you can clearly see strong favoritism and "all to my friends" behavior. Promotion cycle and HR rules are not respected, while promotions were "blocked" some people got pulled up 2 or 3 levels higher for no reason. Product team members are constantly fighting with each other, good ideas were sabotaged just because it wasn't their idea. Tech debt is high and as Engineers are promoted per "project" you see lots of people suggesting a giant over engineered solution that only increases maintenance cost to gain points. Managers and senior managers are just good coders who got promoted and have no clue how to lead a project. Designers and PMs are scarse and never commit to one team, good luck getting answers to what you need. Meanwhile we have all the coorporate BS "resiliant mindset", "pizza day", "Miro values" and nothing is real. In 2023 and 2024 it had a burnout rate over 5% higher than the Netherlands average. The 2024 layoff was illegal with many people being tricked to sign the deal. Misogyny was also a huge problem.

Pros: - salaries above the average - some of the brightest minds work/used to work here - good meals in the office

Cons: - bias towards people/friends who are from Perm (russia) during layoffs and promotions - inaccurate planning of tasks, high surprise factor - problems-problems-problems every day - too many layoffs, high rate of churn and burn-outs - long term initiatives and bonuses in the form of stock are worthless

Pros: Had good culture before. Not anymore

Cons: Layoffs every year since past 3 years
