Pros

Salary, other benefits like health insurance, colleagues, hybrid work, learning experience and great products. This company was great, when it was owned by the founders. It was like a family really, but it has transformed tremendously in the last couple of years, due to greed and bad management.

Cons

- toxic upper management and profit chasing investment group controlling everything, sometimes being hard to digest and make sense of their disconnected decisions -no winter holidays and a burnout for each end of the quarter -work is always a priority, not family or health - people treated as numbers - working from medical leave because it does not matter how you feel, but what the company needs -sketchy moves with some people's commissions when it's beneficial for the company and salary miscalculation is pretty frequent -unrealistic KPIs focused only on quantity, rather than quality -customers feeling harassed by the company because of the aggressive approach -bad management decisions, leading to losing trust from customers and partners, while also losing credibility (perpetual license abrupt end of sale and then reversed) -constant brainwashing of the employees -2 days mandatory in the office, no matter if you just stay in calls and meetings all day -overtime without payment, as legally the company declares no overtime for its employees -some people from the management are being extremely rude and don't respect the employees reporting to them.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
