Pros
- People in the teams are nice and good to work with - The product has some nice challenges, both technically and product-wise - Work from home balance, flexibility - International culture with offices all around Europe - Company workshops 4 times a year (oktoberfest, Ibiza in summer…) if you like these things - AI department is the core of the company and works efficiently and independently
Cons
- Really poor work culture based on micromanagement - Cult to the leadership (specially the CEO) culture enforced during company workshops - Leadership (CEO and CTO) bypassing PMs, engineering managers and teams defining and estimating low level tasks on a weekly basis - Leadership breaking in in the middle of company sprint reviews and demos to harrass people, stop presentations to change the topic, change priorities and redefine the company goals with gandilocuent words that are far from the reality and their management - Middle management is good but they are not brave or experienced enough to stop leadership - The product is not a SaaS - Double technical debt: the product has two versions with two different architectures and tech stack; both in production for clients. None of them are future proof as they have a lot of operational cost when growing in festures and clients. This is a nice mid/long-term project of convergence that leadership is not able to execute correspondingly (they unilaterally estimated it in 100 days by the rule of thumb without anyone, not even management, knowing before presenting it)
