Pros

Great colleagues, ready to help and support when needed. Good career development opportunities, especially for juniors. Steep learning curve due to several company acquisitions in the last few years.

Cons

Massive workload with below-average pay. Product and processes not always keeping up with fast-growth. Toxic top management that constantly changes, as well as micromanagement from the CEO.

Pros

- Coworkers are nice - People respect your personal life, so work-life balance is good

Cons

- Salaries are low, and salary reviews are pushed back. Your starting salary will be your salary for the whole time you're at the company unless a miracle happens - The CEO micromanages work he isn't an expert in, resulting in worse project outcomes. This makes people feel undervalued and lowers the quality of work - High employee turnover, no longevity in projects because of information loss with the turnover. It's also demotivating to see people leaving - Too much focus on sales in a product company, it feels like every other function is underfunded and underappreciated in the culture - Internal decisions are not explained through strategy, and internal communication is poor - There are no growth opportunities. Being proactive or doing extra work is not appreciated and will actually be either undermined or questioned by the CEO. It's not a supporting environment for go-getters or people who want to go above and beyond
