Pros

Good compensation package and equipment provided.

Cons

Not authentic company, but rather ticking the boxes of a checklist of what a “cool” company should do.

Working culture is not fun.

Time is spent mostly planning. However, things are then implemented quickly without following good engineering practices.

Very hierarchical and bureaucratic.

Managers are bossing around.

It is a lot about showing off and bragging about any small thing you delivered, rather than actually being good at your work.

You won’t be able to work on the stuff you enjoy; it will be chosen for you.

Quarterly OKRs are just something ridiculous which usually consumes 2-3 weeks of pointless admin work.

The tools used internally are chosen poorly.

Tech stack is old.

The laptop is barely running, most likely due to all the spyware installed and bad VPN.

The positive reviews are most likely written by people who have never worked in an actually good company and are blinded by the Miro swag and gifts they receive.

All the negative reviews are on point.
