Pros

Some really good engineers work here. Great people to learn from.

Cons

- Oncall load, for the biggest part is handled by US engineers in favor of Poland work life balance. - People play squid games for small pay changes. Shop around, you can easily double your pay and do real good work. - Infrastructure is horrible. You will be working on antique practices that will tax you everyday. The longer you work here, you will fall behind from the rest of the world. - Management is really good at making people believe that they are working on something really important and keeping people busy. It's like a vending machine that takes dollars and gives out pennies. - All the top leadership(basically anyone who has an AMA) is full of people who are stuck in their roles. It's hunger games + squid games +++.

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
