Pros

1. Occasional free lunch. 2. The newer Exec hires who are ex Amazon actually have a clue how to run a business of this scale.

Cons

Where to start? - it’s not a PEOPLE place. Even by tech standards the C suite find people interaction deeply uncomfortable & this shadow falls on the entire HQ organisation - TRUST is a company value yet the CEO and (legacy) Exec team have a zero trust approach - strategy- is there one? There are no company level metrics or goals that determine what success is. - CFO - whoever heard of taking a company public with a CFO who’s not even a qualified accountant let alone taken a business to public markets.

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
