Pros

- Remote work. - Good pay

Cons

- Only for really fresh juniors or obedient middle managers. - Don't waste your time here if you're a senior. It's just a classic consulting company with a big customer behind and old fashion leadership style: control and command, micromanagement and disrespect. - It's not a cool startup as it looks like from outside (they know how to do really good marketing), they don't have a real SaaS product. - You won't last more than 3 months if you challenge them, they only want cargo cult and obedient followers. - Hiring process and onboarding is chaotic and messy.

Pros

- People in the teams are nice and good to work with - The product has some nice challenges, both technically and product-wise - Work from home balance, flexibility - International culture with offices all around Europe - Company workshops 4 times a year (oktoberfest, Ibiza in summer…) if you like these things - AI department is the core of the company and works efficiently and independently

Cons

- Really poor work culture based on micromanagement - Cult to the leadership (specially the CEO) culture enforced during company workshops - Leadership (CEO and CTO) bypassing PMs, engineering managers and teams defining and estimating low level tasks on a weekly basis - Leadership breaking in in the middle of company sprint reviews and demos to harrass people, stop presentations to change the topic, change priorities and redefine the company goals with gandilocuent words that are far from the reality and their management - Middle management is good but they are not brave or experienced enough to stop leadership - The product is not a SaaS - Double technical debt: the product has two versions with two different architectures and tech stack; both in production for clients. None of them are future proof as they have a lot of operational cost when growing in festures and clients. This is a nice mid/long-term project of convergence that leadership is not able to execute correspondingly (they unilaterally estimated it in 100 days by the rule of thumb without anyone, not even management, knowing before presenting it)

Pros

- Great people out of top management, but they keep leaving (check "Average seniority of employees" on the company Linkedin page - Information section) - Good pay - Work from home balance, flexibility at the moment

Cons

- People working extra hours and during weekends as a standard in many teams - Micromanagement: top management individually pinging employees to know what they're working on and reassigning tasks, skipping the full chain of command - Random deadlines that change at random times together with impossible goals - Very bad practices - Terrible infrastructure design from the root - Any project that tries to improve things is considered a waste of time and canceled within 1-2 months - It's basically a consulting company but only for their "product" full of tech debt - Weak leadership: C-levels with no idea what they're doing + not listening to professional advice, pushing for tech debt and impossible/random goals, humiliating employees, dismissing achievements, not allowing for long term roadmaps, only quick wins; middle management not protecting employees nor long term projects, allowing and engaging in the micromanagement
