Pros

Well-funded start-up (for next four years). Nice offices in good location. Good reputation in industry. Education budget. Flexible working hours and option to work at home.

Cons

Management has little to no experience either working in companies or managing people. They make decisions which do not make sense to employees. They value the opinions of close associates over that of their teams. They do not take responsibility when their mismanagement causes problems. There is very little transparency and a lot of politics. They ask for feedback but don't respond well to it. Honesty is seen as a threat. Expectations are not clear and feedback is not given directly. Obvious favoritism and nepotism. Employees are not respected equally and adequately appreciated. 8-9 employees (out of about 50) were let go or left in 6 months. Products are not clearly viable.

Thanks for your feedback. Gnosis believes that feedback is a powerful tool that enables us to grow and improve as an organization. We've just restructured our teams in order to be able to evaluate their performance and help them to grow. We've also put in place a continuous feedback process that encourages employees to have discussion regarding their project challenges as well as possible team conflicts. In our first year, we grew too fast and therefore lead us to an incompatibility between desired and actual position for a couple of people. We apologize for individuals bad experiences, however made our company stronger. We suggest that you use our means of communication in order to give constructive feedback, like suggestion box or employees surveys. Also, please feel free to drop by the management office or HR office to discuss any matter that you feel uncomfortable with.
