High U.S. Turnover & Unstable Environment

Pros

The team in the Prague headquarters is smart and professional, and the core European company seems solid.

Cons

The primary issue is the systemic and unsustainable turnover of the U.S. staff. The company's U.S. expansion effort has been a case study in instability. While the company may cite "performance" for the departures, there is a clear pattern of multiple U.S. colleagues being hired and then abruptly let go within a matter of months. This constant churn, regardless of the official reasons given, created an environment of extreme job insecurity. It was impossible to build momentum or feel that your role was stable for the long term. The removal and scrub of the Houston office from the company's official website in favor of a new location in Charlotte is a testament to this chaos. Before you consider an offer, I would strongly advise you to ask yourself if you want to invest your career in a company with this documented pattern. For those early in their career, consider this warning: a short, unstable stint at an unknown firm like this can be a significant career setback and difficult to explain to future employers.

Pros

* compensation has been solid for the most part * competent people * nice office * snacks and lunches * massages, gym

Cons

bonus scheme is not transparent at all. you never know what to expect whole year, even directionally. you could very well put in extra time, effort, basically go extra mile just to receive less TC at the end of the year.

If they have a profit, then they could pay you well

Cons

If the financial result was bad then they won't pay you much or even reduce the staff.
