      Impossible Task

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good people and a suite of products, some of which work well. Fair overall compensation and a decent culture.

      Cons

      I just came from the 2024 kickoff and it’s going to be a really challenging year, maybe even impossible. The sales focus this year will make it very hard for me to make my compensation target. My boss says one thing to the CEO and something else to the team, which is disingenuous. There is a strategy to fix what’s broken with some of the products, but I don’t know if it will make a difference this year. The rumor is that the company is up for sale and based upon recent layoffs and exits my sense is it’s being prepared now.

      A huge disappointment

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      It was good place to work till 2022. Employee friendly administration, transparency career way, good work-life balance.

      Cons

      The greate cons, which lead me to post this comment is currently attitude company to people. It fired out ALL russian workers in one day without any explanation, without fair compensation. They fired out people who had worked there more than 15 years. This is a very despicable act.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand that organizational changes can be difficult, and we appreciate the contributions of all our employees, both past and present. ABBYY is proud to have a diverse workforce representing over 30 nationalities across 13 countries. As part of our transformation, we reorganized several key operational functions, such as finance, accounting, go-to-market, and research and development, to better align with our business objectives and better serve our customers. While these changes did involve refocusing human resource allocation across various teams and locations, decisions were made based on business needs and functional requirements. We ensured to offer fair support to those affected to help their transitions, and we remain committed to supporting all our employees during this transition. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best moving forward.

      Rapid decline

      Marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are really no pros at this time. There are still some good people there - including the person who hired me - but most are gone, whether as a result of a layoff or leaving on their own.

      Cons

      Fortunately, the worst mistake they every made - the former CRO is gone. But the culture has gone from wonderful to toxic. They cannot keep up with product development which impacts sales and customer success.
