Vantaggi

- You meet interesting people through work - Some of the products are exciting to work with - The innovative market from the technological part - In some product and marketing roles, you get to work with users of the product - they are just amazing

Svantaggi

- No actions to back up “People first”, making it is just a phrase that is being repeated - Pay under the market average - Hight burnout rate within different teams (several people took sick leave with doctor´s notice for that reason) - No accountability among the leadership team, non-ability to plan and execute strategically - CEO isn´t present in daily life and isn´t in touch with people (not even with managers) - COO is toxic and micromanages every team with the constant change of decisions The way a company fires and lays off says more about its culture, than first impressions. Here is my experience of layoff: 1. I was laid off by paper mail. Nobody spoke to me about layoff (not even over a call): not my manager, no one from HR or Leadership team. 2. I was laid off while I was on sick leave. 3. Originally offered severance pay didn´t match regulations. 4. HR wasn´t negotiating severance pay over email (I tried to do it in a friendly manner, before going through the legal system). 5. After involving lawyers, we settled in pre-court mediation, increasing my severance pay x3 times. It´s not the worst company I worked for and could have been among the best, if not for the last year of my employment there. Unfortunately, certain unprofessional management practices are tolerated, resulting in a 20-people team shrinking to a 6-people team in less than a year.

Vantaggi

- flexible schedule - relaxed work load for a startup - good work/life balance - many excellent benefits and good pay - fun people - interesting product

Svantaggi

- extremely poor people leadership across the entire team and especially coming from the top. People in leadership positions are there for reasons that don’t relate at all to their ability to run productive and happy teams - bad decision-making with no retrospectives or learning and repeated mistakes. A lot of fluff and acting like things are fine instead of accountability and change - incredibly slow pace for a team of this size, due to total chaos in every part of the company, inability for leaders to align with each other, lack of transparency and communication - Lack of experience level needed to be successful in this space, senior team members have high turnover. Constant shifting of projects demanded by leadership to try to find the next big thing
