Pros

Nice snacks and lunches, and that is literally it

Cons

Can only repeat what has been said before, unprofessional, backstabbing, managers with no clue what they’re doing, don’t expect any training to onboard and do your job, don’t ever expect any support or to develop your career. If you’re interested in having a career there please be willing to suck up to everyone, be treated like a piece of sh** and ignored for months until acknowledged and maybe eventually make it into the right group of people to have the right to get pissed all day and don’t do work but be praised. But don’t dare to actually try to do your job and be good and get anything positive from it. It’s just a horrible place to work and really bad for your mental health as well as your career.

Pros

Okay to stay for a year or so. A few really outstanding smart people.

Cons

Random promotions, titles and raises. Firings are random too. Titles mean nothing, senior engineers sometimes worse than non-seniors. Crappy managers, most of projects end up in chaos, which is called “agile” here. Zero communication between departments, throw over the fence attitude.

Pros

We have a great culture with a work hard play hard attitude. It is really nice to be part of a team, where we challenge each other, support one another, and most important of all, recognize everyone's efforts and contributions. The whole team is results oriented, we move fast, and are not afraid to try new things. It is great to see the impact we are making in more than 10+ countries. p.s. - free snacks, lattes and frequent team outings.

Cons

We are growing extremely fast, so we all wear many hats. It is however getting much better day by day, as we hire and onboard new folks to the team.
