Pros

- Super smart people to learn from and work with - Everyone here cares a lot about their work, there's a real sense of pride and passion - The level of engineering excellence still surprises me every day. It's very hard to keep the balance of moving this quickly and still producing robust software.

Cons

- Risk of burnout if you're not careful - Lack of management resource can sometimes be annoying but generally this comes from having a 'handholding' management expectation due to the size of the company/how fast it's growing

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
