Vantaggi

- Great engineering team (not sure how long they'll stay) - Lunch - Health insurance - Pension

Svantaggi

- Not flexible working hours anymore - Not hybrid working anymore. - No parking for levels under S2 - A big change of culture over the last year. The company managed to launch a HRIS system in very short time. Many engineers have worked overtime for this product which had strict deadlines, but the company didn't have an actual plan on how to sell it. After the launch of the product, although all the goals have been met by the engineering team the CEO decided that the goals had not been met by the company (although whatever was asked was delivered) and decided to blame remote working for that. They decided to bring all the employees back to the office in a short notice of 1 month. They also decided to not give parking spaces to people that previously had. They created strict rules for remote working and even if people are feeling a bit sick instead of working from home they should ask for a sick leave. Many employees had organized theirs as well as their families and partners lives based on these benefits and the working flexibility, which was until now agreed and in effect. Thus, the majority of the company's stuff should significant and immediate change not only their daily routine, but also manage more efficiently their monthly budget to cover their obligations and expenses (parking, nanny, etc).

Vantaggi

If you worked here long enough, you learned to read silence like weather. You knew the difference between the quiet of concentration and the quiet of fear. You learned the sound of someone being “taken for a walk”— or the happy confession from a co worker they are leaving. Most companies strategically lay off people. not here. it's one by one. My team sat close together, not out of friendship but out of a strange, shared superstition: maybe if we stayed physically near each other, we’d stay employed together. Maybe proximity meant safety. It never did. Some mornings you’d arrive and find an empty desk where a friend had been yesterday. A monitor black, a chair pushed in too neatly—HR always reset the chairs. The sales leadership in Boston is USELESS. Still, we worked. We always worked. There was a strange loyalty that grew in places like this—not to the company, but to each other. We shared snacks, commiserated in Slack channels that definitely violated policy, and joked about starting a betting pool on who’d be next. “Got a minute?” Anyways, so many people laid off for really petty reasons. Good people disappear without a trace.

Svantaggi

Their lack of financial literacy appears to affect budgeting accuracy.” The CEO’s communication style suggests limited training in leadership frameworks
