Vantaggi

I really liked the people I worked with, and also leaderships. I didn't have many interactions besides the engineering team, but the engineers here are awesome, and I had tons of things to learn from every single one of them. Maybe other former employees had bad experiences because the recruiting products were not profitable in the US branch, but I believe the leadership would have done much better for employees if the economy was better. As an engineer, you would expect learnings that you can get from the startups. You will have a bit of flexibility for engineering decisions, but you will need to research and invest quite a bit of extra time in a short period to achieve that.

Svantaggi

There were many crunch times with tons of workload, but the product was not being sold enough. There are many refactorings, yet you need to consider compatibility with legacy codes. This always gives you headaches and limits your engineering work.

Vantaggi

- People and coworkers are genuinely very nice - Work-life balance is great

Svantaggi

- For a company that promotes "transparency", they will keep making you think like the company is doing okay, when in reality layoffs are just around the corner. Most of the US branch has been laid off due to the company's inability to execute on its goals. - Leadership and Product does NOT know what they are doing, they look like they are just making blind guesses. For example releasing "stories" to the mobile app only to realize months later that it was useless. Or pivoting the entire company to focus on cloning LinkedIn Jobs, only to realize they can't actually compete. They keep pushing for massive features that provide no real value. No wonder they are forced to do lay offs. - Major difficulties working with the Korean side of the company, there is just a massive language and cultural gap there. - There is not enough structure to keep the CEO in-check, nobody is willing to push back on his bad ideas. Most of the PM's are all inexperienced and don't know any better
