Pros

Hybrid work with 2 home office days. Snacks, coffee and fruit at the office as well as a gym subscription. Cool projects and products. Perfect if you need to start your career somewhere since this is clearly a trampoline company.

Cons

This company is utter chaos. There is a lot of miscommunication between departments which leads to confusion and unattainable deadlines and timelines. This often develops into unpaid extra hours. No time managing tools, pirated software... Everyone has an opinion but in the end only the family ones matter. They demand you to do the 5 or 6 opinions from every department and then proceed to disregard everything by belittling your work, shelving it in case they decided they like it now. They never let the professionals they hired do their job, going as far as to verbally abuse them in impromptu meetings, humiliating their work and crushing their spirits, as if the CEO had some need to assert his dominance through violence. Do not expect salary raises or recognition inside this company, because you will never get it and even be mocked for asking. There are huge salary differences between teammates and the higher-ups do not want their employees to know.
