Pros

Very good vibes in the team, very collaborative and nurturing. This was very important to me being my first job as a developer. I especially appreciated the zero-blame culture

Cons

I think lack of a product owner created some challenges, sometimes leading to late product feedback and last minutes fixes.

Pros

Everyone I worked with, from software, to sales, to product, to the managing director, were awesome and driven people. They're the "Good people" that the review title refers to. Everything else is downhill from there.

Cons

Gther presents as an independent startup offshoot of its parent company 2Heads, yet in actuality is kept on a very tight leash by a board populated entirely by 2Heads personnel when it comes to funding and company direction. The board holds no respect for fair compensation of its employees, evidenced by: 1) stonewalling of any questions related to promotion or simply annual rises; 2) secrets withheld regarding bonuses given to some but not others, or mentioning equity to some but not others; 3) outright reneging on promises (e.g. promising equity but not delivering). Beware of unexpected whiplash in the direction of this "startup", because the board has no idea how to nurture a small modern tech company. This is evident from the number of half-broken, barely maintainable software products laying around, the result of ad-hoc shortsighted funding decisions in hiring contractors over nurturing in-house talent. Employee churn at all levels is high (I can count 10 either through leaving or being let go over the past 15 months) given a core working team of 10-15. In essence, behave like a contractor if working at Gther. Do your work today to get paid - but don't expect anything else, except for the board to pull the rug out from under you in the name of saving money no matter how much good work you've done.

Pros

The company has wonderful people you work with

Cons

Quite literally everything else. There was no structure in place for growth with misleading targets or training.
