      Pros

      Nice people, and nice office

      Cons

      The company was once an interesting place to work. There was a vision, and a mission. Since Covid, investments have been made in meaningless projects, and even when warned, management insisted on maintaining them. Lately, the company's future was bet on a contract with Richemont. There was no plan B. In Nov 2023, employees were told that there was money to reach June 2024. In December 2023 they said there was no money to reach the end of the month, and the company was sold. Employees who trusted in the company's future kept their shares, and at that moment they lost everything. The management did not have a word, it is silent until today, January 15th.

      Good people, bad CEO and executive

      Pros

      It's a good company, primarily due to its people. Most individuals are kind, although there are a few who exhibit toxic or impolite behavior. The company provides ample opportunities to learn and explore new skills. However, sometimes, trends like architecture styles and design patterns are followed without genuine necessity. Additionally, there is an excessive emphasis on Microservices, leading to unnecessary challenges and costs that could be mitigated through monolithic alternatives. Diversifying by creating services in languages such as Go or Python, instead of solely focusing on .NET, could be beneficial.

      Cons

      The CEO unilaterally decided to end remote work, ignoring its proven effectiveness and the positive impact it had on employees' work-life balance, especially in tech roles like software engineering. Surprisingly, there was no effort to gather input through a survey or consider employees' opinions; instead, a dictatorial approach was taken, leading to demotivated engineers seeking new job opportunities. The decision to revert to office work, starting with 2 days a week and escalating to 3, appears more focused on cost-cutting than on employees' well-being. This rigid stance, devoid of negotiation or alternatives, has led to a mass exodus of talented individuals. The company's financial struggles are evident, as seen in their request to borrow $200 million from the SEC, yet these challenges are being tackled at the expense of the company's core values and its dedicated workforce. It's disheartening to witness the company lose valuable employees due to this misguided approach.

      I wish the salaries were good enough for me to not feel like I need to leave

      Pros

      Great environment and great people. Cool product.

      Cons

      Salaries are low compared to other companies. Year bonus used to be in cash, but it's now only as stocks. Many employees bring up the four day work week and other things the company could do to raise morale. But these ideas are quickly dismissed.
