Pros

Great colleagues! Hybrid opportunities and remote opportunities. A young team with great talents from around the world. Vision with great impact and with a service that solves a big challenge.

Cons

Burnout tactics and focused only on sales numbers for obvious reasons. Managers without empathy and friendliness. Monthly meetings with no real data and with lies around letting people go and improvements on the work-life balance. No pay increase after a year - not even close to an inflation rate Low morale in the team - nothing works. Internal systems are down frequently which affects everyone. Minimum pension contributions: only what's required by employment law Not good benefits (no discounts for other companies or learning budgets which is a norm in the current market). They began to offer pizza and beer on Fridays but in the last 8 months, they stopped it. We didn't have an office manager to run activities (for example Christmas, Halloween, and gifts exchange). Bad management with strategies implemented by people without experience!
