Pluspunten

- Remote work - Smart and caring people to work with

Minpunten

- Newly hired CXO team do not even know about company values let alone following them. - CXO and VP just hire their friends from previous companies without checking basic things for company fit. - No clarity in the leadership team as to what is needed to succeed. Only thing they care about is creating a hustle culture to make everyone work extra hours. - No perks and benefits at all. No company offsites, not even basic company goodies to employees, no holiday budget, nothing. All this while CXO team and VP team frequently hold offsites and travel around the world. - No respect for async or remote culture which once defined this company and made everyone super productive. New leadership team does not like reading documentation which is a shame because this a company with heavy documentation (we have a huge public handbook which apparently CXO and VP team don't even bother reading) - They expect people to work like the big tech companies but the rewards are poor. Annual increments are very low around 3-5%.

Pluspunten

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Minpunten

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
