Vantaggi
High compensation, presumably to help people get over the unbelievably absurd culture fostered by the new CEO and his newly hired cronies.
Svantaggi
This was easily the worst experience of my professional career. The new CEO who started in March of 2023 was one of the most incompetent, narcissistic, and toxic people I've ever met - and this isn't a stretch. Lots of nepotism, to the point where he appoints his friends from previous companies (who are also toxic) as executives without staging interviews. Theres an astonishing amount of brain drain going on here as the great minds that made this company excellent are getting out as fast as they can. There were two rounds of layoffs in 2023, one where the entire German office was shutdown, another that impacted a large portion of sales and marketing. This took place after the CEO stated at his introductory meeting that he's never held layoffs. Significant benefit cuts also took place in 2023, which made the company far less competitive than it had been. It's really discouraging to see a company that was so close to greatness get utterly destroyed by a handful of people who keep shouting the words "disruption" and "hyperautomation" (which is an idea several years old, by the way). Truly a bizarre and sad experience here. New leadership will have there day, but until they're gone, stay away.
