Flightradar24 Reviews

Recently, the company has changed in noticeable ways. There has been a clear but indirect shift away from supporting remote workers, communicated subtly rather than openly, creating uncertainty instead of transparency. Given the proven performance of fully remote teams, this shift feels less about results and more like a convenient explanation for perceived delivery challenges, combined with a growing preference for tighter control. HR communication has become increasingly impersonal, with important messages delivered via AI-generated podcasts, which feels inappropriate for serious matters. New managers hired in the last period show little openness to feedback. Concerns and risks raised by experienced team members are dismissed, and decisions are pushed through without real discussion. The lowest point was the sudden layoff of several long-term contractors, some with over 10 years at the company. Layoffs were handled via a 15-minute call, with no real explanation and no visible sign of empathy. Access to accounts was revoked immediately, signaling a complete lack of trust. The company stated this was not related to performance or location, yet new job postings for the same roles appeared the following day, explicitly Stockholm-based.

Since the summer, our company has been doing "modernization" after part of Flightradar was sold, and they started modernizing for the sake of modernization and making changes for the sake of changes. The company is implementing the worst parts of old-school corporate culture, with benefits like "water and free toilet paper." But the worst part is that no one will ask you anything—all decisions are already made by new external members of the company, even when it directly relates to your team. There's no logic in the decisions, and if you just want to get your salary, then you can close your eyes to it. And finally, I want to add the worst thing I have ever seen in any company. They fired 12 software engineer contractors and terminated their accounts without even giving them a chance to say goodbye to colleagues, etc. They just terminated everything including Slack, but forgot about secrets, VPN, etc. They made people feel like they are goods, not humans. It's insane, almost everyone in the company is still sad and unmotivated after such decisions. And I also want to mention the career path - you have almost no chance of growing your career even if you work 10 years and do your best. They do not care.
