Pros

Netlight is really great if you want to find good people to start another company with. It's good for networking and getting to know people in a new city and salaries are decent. You get to go on a trip with the company twice a year, which is fun.

Cons

The biggest lie at Netlight is that it is a flat organization with no bosses. There are bosses everywhere, and even dedicated colleagues to monitor you. They call them "mentors" or "managers". Forget about personal development, there will be no summits, no courses, I wasn't even allowed to buy a book for personal development. You get to read what they tell you to. That's the sect part of it. What's important about these reviews is that the people who have been in it, seen the problems and gotten out - write the truth here. I am positive that Netlight themselves are still sending glassdoor links to new employees to make sure that they write awesome stuff here, and universum-survey links and what not. Complete brainwash. If there are no bosses, why is everything being decided behind closed doors?
