Pros
- Wide variety of projects and technologies — great for learning - Friendly and helpful colleagues, especially pre-acquisition team members - Flexible remote work policy (3 days per week of your choice) - Good opportunity for juniors to build technical experience
Cons
- Overengineered solutions for simple needs (e.g. 4–5 separate codebases for a blog) - Inefficient use of tech stacks increases complexity and costs - Below-market salaries; leadership regularly cites budget issues without concrete plans for improvement - Frequent cost-cutting measures: reduced bonuses, contractor cuts, tool/license budget cuts - Post-acquisition leadership favored hires from previous companies, leading to internal division - Feeling of exclusion among older employees, especially during casual team interactions - Culture shift after acquisition caused drop in transparency and trust - Sudden restructuring decisions (entire teams removed in a single meeting) - Career growth tied to perceived sociability — missing in-office days with your manager can impact your review - Limited merit recognition — even high-performing employees often feel undervalued - Lack of long-term vision in some technical and organizational decisions
