Pros

Great people and a dynamic, start-up environment. Opportunities to learn, develop, and grow professionally.

Cons

The company currently feels unstable and uncertain. Frequent layoffs lately have led to a heavy and tense atmosphere. Lack of a clear, consistent strategy has contributed to chaos and organizational challenges.

Pros

Great pay compared to other software companies, a flexible and supportive environment, and real work-life balance. Most importantly, the company truly trusts and values its people. After a difficult period of layoffs and people leaving, during which I also left, I chose to return and was warmly welcomed back. I came back to a stronger, more stable, and genuinely positive workplace. That says everything.

Cons

No major negatives from my experience. Like any growing company, there are periods of change and adjustment, but overall the direction and culture remain strong.
