Pros

- product has a huge growth potential - good salary and compensation for the Spanish market

Cons

- you have to adjust your thinking and approach to company's politics in order to be successful in your career at Preply. In theory they are open to feedback, but you need to be careful what you are saying. -there are 12 values that run Preply's business, but you might be under high pressure to achieve all of them during your performance review, however Preply should practice what they preach and managers should also respect these values. -building culture of trust should be a priority for Preply - feedback given to other employee should remain confidential - I heard people gossiping about one another regarding their performance - your job might be prone to micromanagement, especially if you are under pressure to deliver OKRs. We understand that the goals have to be achieved, however please have more trust to your employees - career growth path are not clear, despite of the fact that this issue had been raised several times throughout the years.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, and for calling out what’s working as well as what’s not. We know Preply isn’t a slow or simple place to work. We move fast, we set ambitious goals, and that can sometimes make the environment feel intense. That said, trust and transparency matter. We’re doubling down on clearer career paths and better feedback practices because high performance only works when people feel respected and informed. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and for helping us see where we can do better.
