Pros
The pros are disappearing fast along with great people who contributed so much to the business. I guess the free kitkats are still there (for now).
Cons
From a great place to work to a deeply demoralising environment
It’s genuinely heartbreaking to have watched a once vibrant, people-centred software company deteriorate from a place where employees were proud and motivated to one where many now struggle under the weight of poor leadership, inefficient processes, and relentless workloads.
What was once a culture of collaboration and innovation has given way to confusion and disengagement. Following a steady exodus of talented people, those who remain often appear burnt out or detached. The absence of a clear strategic direction has left the business stagnant, while vanity projects have replaced meaningful progress and created further division.
The product itself, once an industry frontrunner, has seen little meaningful improvement in years. As competitors continue to evolve and outpace us, the go-to-market team is left fighting a losing battle in an increasingly competitive landscape.
A recent acquisition could have been the fresh start the business so desperately needed, but so far its been an utter mess, offering little hope of reversing the decline.
