Remote work, bi-annual bonus in some roles. Some extra days off given by company policy, health insurance, their own app, free Metal subscription. You should only work here if you plan to take a mortgage and need good income to show for your bank. Otherwise, don't.

They overwork people. They have now established procedures and manuals which EU employees pretty much created.

More and more focus is placed on hiring India employees and vendors, with whom it's very hard to work due to different work ethics and knowledge gaps.

The annual salary review policy is a joke. In performance reviews, 'high scores' are rated using points like "is able to manage and drive to success a 1000-person team." No matter your role, you get the same questionnaire. Your ability to be a strong performer as an analyst is evaluated by your ability to manage teams and "projects that have company-wise success impact," etc. This framework is designed to never give good evaluations for regular employees, and in conclusion, not to adjust salaries regardless of inflation.

The work you get in a simple analyst role, junior or mid-level, equals the work that in other companies a senior role would be doing. This includes preparing data reports, meeting management, and creating and working on additional projects.

None of this will be openly disclosed in an interview. They won't even know what part of the business line you will be covering as QC when you are being employed.

Expected productivity targets are counted as 100% on productive tasks only. If lower, it becomes a problem. This doesn't count all the additional communications that require time, etc. (Meanwhile, other companies usually count this as ~85% of the time).

The pay was competitive two years ago when I joined. However, the way it is not adjusted, and the overworking of people is a legitimate, open culture in the company, as "they value dream team exceptional performance," etc., etc., and "never settle."

I wanted to find a company where I wanted to stay for many years, know people, etc., but here the turnover of people is super high, even though the training time is insanely long.

The company is still being managed as a startup – super high drive, etc., etc.

However, being in this company, it is very clear that the company actually doesn't care about employee "wellbeing" or the retention of experienced team members. This drives an exhausting environment and "wellbeing events" initiatives regarding that is a commercial add which is just an additional newsletter to read that says, "Get enough sleep and eat healthy."

The performance system should change, where evaluation would be applicable to the roles and not get unrelated evaluation points, where analysts don't get strong performance reviews because they are not team managers.

If you require exceptionally high performance from everyone, you should keep your salaries very competitive and review them on time. If you don't want to do that, then you should stop pushing and implementing new KPIs every quarter.

The CEO looks like an evil person in itself, ready to eat others alive, whether it's a competitor or an employee. Yeah, maybe a little bit of that is needed in a business, but God, his children are probably traumatized.
