Pros

The salary (but that has not been and will not be adjusted in the upcoming year and they are cutting costs wherever possible).

Fully remote work.

Cons

Where do I even start? It seems like all the good perks are going these days:

  • Salary not adjusted this year at all (they do not care how hard you work).
  • Bonus is basically non-existent.
  • Training budget is almost non-existent.
  • Recharge Fridays are being phased out.
  • Massively understaffed with no intentions of making it better.
  • American management that clearly does not care about its employees at all.
  • Pitiful "fun budget".
  • No conference/travel budget.
  • Perks are being cut in every direction.
  • Agile practice is basically a joke.
  • You need to adjust to American time zones for work.
Advice to Management

To the new owners, please stop trying to run the company into the ground. Thank you.

To people thinking of joining, just don't. It's an absolute disappointment.
