Pros

Nice people to work with overall, because we all work in so many different locations, HR always come up with initiatives for team bonding which is pretty nice. Growth is pretty great if you are filled with initiatives in picking up tasks outside your role. Good manager, very understanding, willing to learn from everybody and does not micro manage

Cons

- Very very low salary for a foreign language job - the salary rate was not decided based on market research, they pretty much eyeballed 'this figure sounds like it would work'. - Immense workload with no tangible gratification. Just like someone else mentioned in a recent review, employees were stretched thin from the pandemic, and the CEO refuse to give acceptable raises. Employees have to beg for the raise they were promised. They throw in 50 - 80eur every now and then. Does not appreciate the value employees bring to the table as they view employees as highly dispensable. As much as it is the reality, a lot of the people who work here give the company their 200% and more because it feels like a close-knitted community - I have to say that the company does not deserve it. - I can accept a chaotic unstructured work environment if it’s at an early stage and especially with inexperienced founders/team but the leader has to address it sooner or later. It is normal to wear multiple hats in a startup but it’s not a good sign if it drags out too long.

Pros

They have a strong and growing team of software developers which gives you a great opportunity to learn and grow as a software developer. There is a lot of knowledge and experience in the team and team members help each other and share their knowledge. There is strong leadership at the company and the business is growing fast. As a software developer you are given a lot of ownership and responsibility. You are expected to push to production pretty much on your first day. The team is very diverse, with members working remotely from various countries, especially in the software development team.

Cons

None I can think of.

Pros

Your ideas can take place. You can create processes from scratch. An International company where you can learn about different markets. Opportunity to work 100% remotely.

Cons

Very early days to say something, but it could be that you do not feel connected with your team when it is 100% remote.
