Pros

Salary and bonuses average, plus I would say.

Flexible working policy is good.

Cons

Senior management doesn’t have any clue how to manage people.

Treating employees as resources, even good salary and bonuses, can’t help here.

Lack of people and resources, but they still expect you to finish big tasks with tough deadlines.

Don’t accept problems or don’t want to fix them, but they know about them.

Rush with launching new features, so no time to improve previous ones.

Decisions are made in a rush, so mostly everything is in MVP stage.

Pure backend stack, internal frameworks with a lot of issues.

Not interested in your knowledge improvement, only when it comes to internal frameworks, but even here, there’s a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Everything is about speed, not quality.

KPI-based environment.

Toxic environment.

You will be told what, how, and when you should do things, with no freedom and flexibility.

So, if you like challenges and want to try to change these things, this is a perfect place. But be ready for big resistance and lack of power.

Advice to Management

Top management should change their mindset and start listening to employees.
