A company with lots of promise but dangers lurking

Pros

Global company, capable and ambitious co-founders, hardworking and humble colleagues (esp in HQ) who work and play hard, all staff given good level of autonomy and responsibility, growing company with multiple locations and opportunities, fast-paced and nimble

Cons

Poor benefits (dismal amount of free ride credit given to employee), long hours (work local time plus Estonian time when HQ comes online). Lack of formal or informal training for new joiners. Dictatorial, malleable leadership evident in some countries with managers taking all the credit but shifting blame down easily. Employees expected to toe the line and not ask difficult questions. No proper HR procedures in place, easy to be dismissed.

Thanks for your review. It's disappointing that you've had such experience working with us. We have already made several changes and will continue the efforts to improve our benefits, management approach and HR procedures.
