all is good, perfect management

i have not seen any

Wonderful people, truly dedicated and believed in what they worked towards. Great work-life balance. Patient, sympathetic and understanding middle-management.

ELT, especially the CEO. Bombastic speeches at a million words a minute and after all of that you are left with 'what was even the point of all of that?' kind of feeling. Bad planning and a severe lack of foresight in a sector which is already very saturated and experiencing a lot of difficulty. Which ultimately leads to multiple layoffs over the span of 2 years, the latest one at the start of 2026. Continuous rumours of layoffs, quiet exits of some valued technical people led to low morale among the surviving few. Outside of a few remaining technical personnel, the company is effectively made of of salespeople trying to sell what is left and not succeeding because of a very small market to begin with.
