Pros

- great colleagues - nice office in great location - small company, means that information travels quickly and if you talk to the right people, you know what's going on

Cons

- unprofessional management. Founders still lead the company and don't know too much about people management - paranoid attitude: they don't trust people and want to control every employee - overly bureaucratic for a small company - technology is interesting, but will remain a niche product - no real growth possible - small company, so there is no opportunity to grow / advance in the company - relatively low salaries, and difficult to get a raise

Pros

nice office in city center some people are genuinely nice and helpful flexible working hours with option to work from home

Cons

employees are left to struggle a lot deadlines change a lot and it’s difficult to plan anything the company struggles to hire qualified workforce - they usually end up hiring people who are close to retirement and have never worked in IT before. This sounds nice in theory but in reality those people are really difficult to onboard and even after onboarding they fail at their tasks. This causes them a lot of stress and they have a habit of taking it out on younger colleagues - I had the same experience with people from different departments. toxic and incompetent seniors unfair distribution of work and generally high workload lots of technical debt from previous employees meeting account for 50 to 70 % of my working time (just for comparison: it used to be up to 25 at the company I worked before)
