Pros
Part of the tech stack is interesting, lots of expats which create a friendly environment, Global presence of the product.
Cons
Very poor HR, either understaffed or with a high turnover of the whole team, Chief included, leaving after around 1 year. I had difficulty getting answers or attention on serious topics such as payroll values or issues. During my stay I've personally experienced many forms of mobbing: - I've been called stupid, in front of peers, once - I've been called gay, once - Performance reviews often way worse than actual performance, to the point of having to sign an improvement plan that could lead to firing. But then cheers and nice words in public settings for the work done on a new feature released - Pull requests with offensive comments and language - Pull requests declined for minor issues, slowing down the work unnecessarily, or maybe ostracizing - A colleague was many times trying to engage in kind of a shadow sparring, at times intimidating - Manager giving good feedback in 1 on 1s, but then turning it to negative feedback in the performance review, making me wonder why this wasn't addressed earlier in the 1 on 1s I've seen colleagues who had a hard life at work because the managers/team leaders didn't like them and ended up leaving quickly because of this toxic environment. If they didn't like someone they managed to make the person leave by itself out of mental exhaustion. Engineers responsible for manual regression tests at every release, which takes usually the whole day. Lunch quality is not the best, to say the least Lack of product ownership.
