The company really has a strict technical interview. Their target is to hire "young and intelligent people" whom have short working experiences, but are above their level. This caused the majority of technical team to be young (in their 20s and early 30s) and they were considered very smart and intelligent and noticeably hard-working. This is the main reason of "strive and growth" environment of the tech team.
And here comes the backslash:
A young, smart and hardworking person learns and grows faster than expected. This causes them to strive for higher salary based on their real level, and compared to the offer that other companies usually give (and their friends usually get). The company itself has a strict salary chart which is not very outstanding and the yearly rise is not at all good. So, after about a year, most of the younger employees easily get lured by other companies for higher salary offers than Yara.
In the last year, many people of the tech and product team left the company "only" for higher salary offers for their level. And because of their knowledge and having many project experiences compared to their age, most of them were hired in very bigger and better companies.
Because this company is a small branch of the bigger holding and they cannot outrun their salary rules by much. So, as a young growing person in technical job field, Yara is great to get in, but due to their salary and rise policies, this will not satisfy you to stay in much long.
Another issue is the project management. There is some barrier between technical and product teams. The company is working agile, but does not follow a standard agile methodology and the using the task manager is mostly neglected. Anyone works with their own preferred method and this causes some friction and waste of effort as well.
Also, sometimes they get to work on projects that are not really good.
There is also a lack of marketing and go-to-market strategies which will affect the overall satisfaction of working on a project (you feel like they could do better and your effort and contribution might be well-wasted)
