Pros

At this point - why bother ?

Cons

When I joined Dcoya, it was already under Ninjio’s ownership, but despite that, the working environment was fantastic — a strong, motivated team and a real sense of purpose. About a year ago, Ninjio decided to build an additional technology center in the U.S., supposedly alongside maintaining the Israeli center. Since then, everything changed: they consistently undermined our team’s efforts, while repeatedly reassuring us that the Israeli operation was secure. Those reassurances turned out to be false. Five months ago, after being denied a raise the year before, I was given only a partial raise, accompanied by promises of company stock options that would be finalized within two months. Those stock agreements never arrived. Instead, on April 29, 2025, almost the entire Israeli development team was summoned for service termination hearings. Ninjio’s behavior throughout — breaking promises, misleading employees, and showing a clear disregard for the teams that built their technology — should be a major red flag to anyone considering working with them. Their leadership style is built on manipulation and short-term decisions at the expense of employee trust and wellbeing. Proceed with extreme caution.

Pros

Autonomy, support, strong leadership and culture

Cons

Small, so you may wear many hats. I find that to be a pro, but others may not prefer it.

Pros

One thing NINJIO does well is building a diverse team with people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.

Cons

Worked at NINJIO for over 4 years and it was one of the most disorganized and stressful environments I’ve experienced. Leadership constantly pushed unrealistic deadlines while communication between departments was almost nonexistent. Employees were expected to wear multiple hats with little support, and management often changed priorities without warning. One of the biggest issues was leadership itself. The CEO rarely even came into the office, yet employees were still expected to be there and maintain strict in-office expectations. It created a very disconnected culture where leadership felt completely out of touch with the actual team and day-to-day operations. Layoffs and firings also felt cold and impersonal. People were let go without leadership even taking the time to meet with them face to face. Morale was extremely low, turnover was high, and there was very little recognition for the amount of work employees were putting in. There were some talented people on the team, but the overall environment made it difficult to succeed long term. If you value stability, clear direction, and work-life balance, this probably isn’t the place for you.
