Pros
- Nature of the product creates lots of fun problems
Cons
The company laid off and locked out ~10 percent of their global employees on a Friday at 5PM after work due to 'cross-country communication issues', despite keeping multiple US-based teams. The CEO himself had just moved to the US. We all thought we were going back to work on Monday. They gave a 2 week severance. - Way below market value compensation (think ~90k for a staff level engineer), constant empty promises for raises - COO (CTO now I guess?) Henrik Hofmeister is a work-obsessed cowboy coder who refuses to listen to any fellow engineer, wasting an incredible amount of money following through with poor technical decisions vehemently advised against. - CEO Jacob Laurvigen is a legitimate fool who probably couldn't find his own behind with a well drawn map AND a flashlight, often sending garbled, near-incomprehensible company-wide slack messages during the evening. I doubt he even knows what web scraping is. - The technology itself is a mess and a half, mostly in part due to the COO making rash technical decisions on his own whim. - Company communication is a mess, mostly due to employees choosing not to follow set guidelines, especially in the context of escalating problems to engineering.
