Pros
The people that work at Runa are skilled, committed, and up to the challenge of building a start-up. They're great colleagues from whom anyone can learn and they are open to help anyone in trouble.
Cons
There was a time in which Runa was full-speed sailing as the Titanic. But after one of the Heads joined it started sinking. Since then there is no longer the feeling of belonging to the company. Policies slowly started changing without no one noticing it (holidays, PTO as an example). By the time someone noticed, the change was already done and discussion was off the table. This Head started firing people claiming it was due to low performance but the truth is that it was something personal. Also, the open and welcoming culture the company had before is long gone. Some employees are scared of sharing their thoughts. This same Head insists that finding new talent (which is usually brought in from abroad) is difficult but doesn't promote a training program for current employees. The "benefits" the company offers are limited and aren't what they seem to be. The same story goes for all the awards and recognitions that are posted on social media. There are extremely long work hours and sometimes people work on projects because it's more a wish from Managers or Heads than a product priority. Day-to-day responsibilities shift quickly causing extra stress for everyone and this sometimes makes anyone fall behind in their daily tasks. There's a constant feeling of working and working and still never catching up. Some Managers and Heads have no issue throwing people from their team under the bus. And even if they see their team overflown with work still they can't lend a hand (spoiler alert, it's because they don't know how). The "burnout" word doesn't even exist in the company's dictionary and it's almost taboo. Employees used to be the best ambassadors of the brand, now they just aren't into it anymore. Wonder why?
