Pros

The Company gives pretty high salaries, and many benefits to employees with a lot of extra activity. I'd say the overall tempting nature of this high compensation/benefits outweighs the cons of this company for some people.

Cons

The Senior Management is some of the worst I have ever seen regarding company culture. They have 0 trust, 0 remorse and an aggressive approach to professionals "below" them. They will overrule decisions made by others and look for scapegoats to blame instead of practicing blameless culture. Yes, they might be business-oriented and lead a successful startup, but if they continue this way it will eventually backfire.

We're sorry to hear that this is your experience with us. As a company, we value the input of all our employees, from our junior employees to senior managers, and prioritize independent thinking. As Papaya grows rapidly, more managerial levels are required. Decisions made by senior management are carefully considered, taking into account the impact those may have on our employees and the company as a whole. We appreciate you taking the time to write this, and we are attentive to your needs. We invite you to reach out to the relevant parties within the company, and we would love to assist you personally.
