Pros

- Was a great company and team, waste of time for last year

Cons

- Lack of Product Management vision, no idea about future of product, no idea about development, no idea about area and vision, wasting time and money - Team not motivated to work and misses requirements, and do what it thinks is needed needed - Delivery asks to complete timesheets, but does nothing. Couldn't bring QA lead for months and only speak stories to CEO's ears - Scrum Masters, 2 for small firm are a lot. All developers are frustrated. Clear waste of time and missing lots of skills - No experienced developer in company, all not more then 1 year working

Pros

Some colleagues are wonderful people. They were the ones holding everything together.​​​​​

Cons

At first, the experience was excellent — there was a wonderful team, and despite all the difficulties, there was a sense of support and unity. After major changes, everything started falling apart. Management was weak, decisions were strange, and people didn’t feel safe or secure. Laying off many great people caused an outpouring of outrage. The way the layoffs were handled was complete trash. The CEO’s wife is incompetent but makes many important decisions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pros

Some of the colleagues are nice. Remote working available.

Cons

Pay is much lower than industry standard No career progression opportunities or training Very few customers so business reliant on renewals. Cancellation of one or two may put in jeopardy (again). Genuine lack of care in staff wellbeing. Solution to most problems seems to be redundancy. Lack of willingness to try new approaches - or even industry standard ones! Read the reviews (many positive ones are “encouraged” to try and boost star ratings - It’s the COO’s way or nothing. Constant shifts in direction according to customer whims or latest trendy buzzword rather than focus on actual strengths. Very Russian centric culture - if you’re not Russian or don’t speak Russian don’t expect to feel anything other than secondary citizen.
