Good fintech experience with strong engineering culture - Senior Software Engineer Tarabut Employee Review

It was truly one of the best companies to work for - until January 2025, when the seventh round of layoffs in less than two years took place. Good Pay: The compensation was competitive and rewarding. Strong Management: Leadership was supportive, genuinely cared for employees, and focused on solving real problems rather than ignoring them. Remote Work Environment: Flexible and well-structured remote policies made it easy to stay productive while maintaining work–life balance.

The seventh round of layoffs in January 2025 completely changed the course of the company. Nearly the entire core team was let go, leaving the organization without direction or vision. The mindset that “everyone is replaceable” has severely damaged its once-strong reputation as a great place to work. To cut costs, the staff was offshored at a fraction of the expense, but in doing so, the company removed the very people who were essential to keeping things running. Internal politics have only made matters worse, driving employees either to resign or face termination. What was once an inspiring and well-organized workplace has now descended into chaos and poor planning.

Tarabut offers a dynamic, fast-paced work environment where you get to learn a lot quickly. The team is passionate, and there’s plenty of opportunity to take ownership and grow. Work can be fun and engaging if you enjoy solving problems on the fly.

The fast pace can sometimes feel chaotic, with priorities shifting quickly and processes still evolving. It may take some time to find stability or structure.
