Pros

- Nice office - Good coworkers - Hybrid work policy - Decent work life balance - Most people were remote during CoVID and company handled that policy quite well - For a time during the boom from the companies IPO and CoVID boom the company was actually a decent place to work but they didn’t handle the good fortune during that time well enough to navigate the CoVID/inflation bust well.

Cons

- Poor management led to too many acquisitions, a declining product, 10% layoffs, then 6% layoffs about a year later and a stock price that has been stuck at a price almost as low as the initial IPO. - Most coworkers who weren’t part of the layoffs probably wish they had been since they’d at least gotten severance. - Other top talent left since they could see the direction for the company wasn’t great. - Quite a few people in management and technical leadership that think they know what they’re doing and make decisions in a box without listening to feedback - Not much room for growth or promotion since the company is not growing, stock has been in decline since the boom during COVID and private equity companies looking for stock growth have targeted the company

Pros

René is the only pros here :)

Cons

The CTO selection appears misaligned with the company’s future technology needs. The organization requires leadership that combines strategic vision with hands-on understanding of modern architectures, AI-driven development practices, and high-velocity engineering execution. Although the candidate may have delivered meaningful contributions earlier in their career, recent outcomes raise concerns about their ability to drive technological agility. The systems and frameworks developed under their direction became cumbersome to maintain, with even minor modifications requiring disproportionate effort and extended delivery timelines. This level of engineering inefficiency is a significant warning sign for a technology leader responsible for accelerating innovation and execution. René Bill has already paid a heavy price for this, else today it would have been better positioned :( Given the pace of change in today’s technology landscape, the company would be better served by a CTO who can balance architectural rigor with adaptability, speed, and forward-looking technical vision.
