Pros

Nice offices, friendly environment, focus on delivering impact

Cons

Leadership is not transparent and to some extent not able to run the business. The board while join in AMAs they are not transparent either. company is not being able to deliver results that justify their valuation. Product not in line with competitors. Lots of changes in teams and orgs.

Pros

If you have worked on an american-like company, the job is really chill

Cons

Not a lot of technical challenges You are not autonomous, and the decisions are made in an hierarchic way There is no such a thing as a system or cloud architect job or role. Everything is decided previously and we are not free to use new technologies and inovate The current evaluation process is a mess, the evaluate you like Meta but they pay you like Personio
