Pros

- you learn a lot as it's a startup so you have many responsibilities right from the start - fun product to sell

Cons

- low employee motivation - low pay and benefits - HR is not very helpful, as they have to do recruiting, HR and office managing all at the same time. In a company that is 100+ that is not feasible at all. - Extremely dominant and arrogant top management. Treat their employees like they are children (even said that the employees were acting like children once. I'm sorry, but what manager does that? It's extremely unprofessional and develops low morale among the team. I thought that was pretty straightforward, but I guess they don't think so) - Office had really bad air circulation so basically, all employees constantly had headaches. That's actually a violation of health and safety laws in the work environment - Everyone sat cramped together, and it was at all times very noisy. Meeting rooms were often full, so nowhere to escape. - Low team morale. Not many team events organised.

Pros

the team is, overall, nice

Cons

i was hired for 65k because they wanted to transition to an agile format and increse code quality. in 4 months, i could not get a planning session ( it is a waste of time for them), the only retrospective was a joke, and basic changes asked on PRs were rejected because opposition to good practices ( ie: using createSelector is, for them, over engineering ). it was a constant fight for everything. IF you get here, forget about any design principles like SOLID, DRY, or KISS.. and of course, design patterns. The front end team is purely driven and managed by the product team, and without proper planning sessions, this becomes a problem. The code is so messy because there is no supervision nor filter on product requests. You will HAVE to use mixins for everything, from font-weight to display. if you like spaghetti code, a completely absent management, and to proceed without a plan or a strategy in tech development, this is the right place for you. last note: we start as.2 new seniors, found out the other one was hired for 5k less than me. so be smart when negotiate the amount of salary.

Pros

They often offered a “healthy day” on a weekly basis while there was no coffee during the morning several times per week. 👍🏼

Cons

- Pressure to get work done when there was no work to do. Sum up. - RRHH “services” were poorsome, useless and defavourable to every employee. Ah, wait, there were some who earned more. - CEO was inexistant for much of the time given the fact he was the head of a company. - Lies, unachieved projects and troubles with ticket restaurant were monthly snacks. - No Salary Reformulation or push-up.
