XYB Reviews

CEO announced in the last all hands that the runaway had been extended to mid summer thanks to some cost saving measures. 10 days later XYB announced a new round of layoffs. Around 30% of the total workforce between Estonia and London. No severance package (never heard of this in a tech company before, shocking). Also because the company needs to do a consultation to see who is finally made redundant, a bigger percentage of the staff has been waiting for a week, not knowing if they will loose their jobs or not. Apart from the above, XYB is not good for software engineers imo; there is no career progression or a process for it, no real knowledge sharing within teams to upskill other staff and working here feels chaotic most of the time. I can't recommend this company to anyone, I wish them good luck but it's hard to imagine them succeeding if they can't get a single client to sign a deal...

Chronic Layoffs: Multiple rounds of layoffs in under 6 months. People are let go as soon as a project is done, like disposable resources. No job security at all. Incompetent Leadership: Leadership lacks vision and accountability. CEO promises customers but delivers nothing. No new business, just false hopes. CEO on Vacation During Layoffs: Speaks volumes about leadership priorities, announces layoffs and continues his holiday. Micromanagement & No Trust: Forced return-to-office policy purely due to lack of trust in employees, not actual need. Underpaid & Undervalued: Salaries are below industry standards. Hikes are non-existent. Toxic Work Culture: No transparency. Poor communication. Leadership lives in denial while employees suffer. Not recommend this company to anyone.
