Pros

Great colleagues and quite friendly atmosphere. Flexible working times and the possibility to be an entrepreneur / individual contributor within the company. Fantastic engineering, services and support departments: Great people and very enthusiastic. Great customers and community which are believing into the product.

Cons

Middle management is not saying what they are thinking to the upper management. (No vision, just waiting for IPO) Very US centric with lack of individual territorial management capabilities. Quite a few management changes over the last twelve months. Companies and territorial performance numbers and goals are unclear except of growth. Compensation plans are changed more than twice a year.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
