Pros

Good salary beside being underpaid on same working role Good working environment Good ideals to trive together and willing to focus on what really matters

Cons

Forcing colleagues to work from office again from 2-3 days a week, refusing to keep current way of hybrid working, year after year salaries are getting stucked beside they increase 3% and this is just not enough, "they know" says one of these comments and they do. The possibilities to work "away" from other places have always been very chaotic to ask, to formalize and to make. After some years the ways of living from their colleagues have changed but they dont even see how much workers have to do for these changes, for some people being back to the office works and for others do not, let them choose. This is the real way to thrive, not telling people you have go as mandatory while their working conditions worsen

We are grateful for your feedback and sorry to know that your experience has not been the most positive so far. We have embraced a hybrid working framework because we are a human-centric organisation and we believe that great things are created when people come together. Face-to-face interactions are also vital for the enhancement of our colleagues' social well-being. At the same time, we continue to encourage our people to take advantage of our flexible working framework which allows them to work and live in over 40 countries worldwide for up to 10 weeks a year promoting work/life balance and refreshing the mind. We hope that we shall continue to get more feedback from you as we keep knocking down barriers for all our colleagues to thrive.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
