Pros

There are some very nice people working there, There are nice new year events organized several times per year, remote work allowed from time to time.

Cons

Total anarchy, management is uncapable (laying to customers, promising towers and cities, then whole development team suffers due to their incompetence), in some cases angry customers. Very big people in out frequency change, people get fired all the time without any empathy what so ever, usually lead people, but not allways the case, company was many times on the edge to be broke but somehow it recovered. Also the software which they are building there is closed source, and it is used only for their customers, you won't be able to use it in future as a reference. No paid overtime ever. Company strategy constantly changing (somethimes on weekly basis). They are writting their inhouse tools for anything (not always a good solution, sometimes you should use something from the market).

Pros

- Talks the talk. - "Interesting" office space. - New projects/ideas being started all the time. - Feels like a start-up. - Nice co-workers. - Sometimes there's free beer .

Cons

- Doesn't walk the walk. - Office feels empty (due to staff alienation and inevitable turnover). - Things don't get finished/delivered (with management always looking for the next shiny thing to attracted their attention). - The company has been a start-up for many years (decades?) and doesn't seem to be making much progress with taking it to a new level of maturity. - Not many customers (possibly due to products lacking clear customer-value). - Not always able to pay their bills (probably due to lack of customers). - It's a sausage-fest.

We are sorry for the inconsistency as we transitioned from our old technology to our new. It was a difficult time to be an employee and we understand the demands of the transition were not for everyone. We appreciate the work you completed at Braintribe and are sorry you took your frustration out in this manner. With that said, we wish you all the best in your future.
