Pros
  • Work and life balance
  • Interesting projects and up-to-date tech stack
  • Possibility to work remotely
  • Great people and working culture
Cons

Not much in the way of financial incentives (only for senior management and staff+ engineers).

Many benefits were cut off.

Last time they were hiring only in "cheap locations", so there is uncertainty in the future if you are in an "expensive location".

Not a clear policy for promotion and bonuses.

Advice to Management

To become an iconic company, it's important to ensure that employees have the opportunity to earn competitive salaries.

While our base salaries are respectable, I recommend reviewing the bonus and financial incentive policies for software engineers below the staff level.
