      Finnish scale-up with a good product-market fit - Senior Engineering Manager Smartly Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay, smart and creative colleagues, rare opportunity to work in a finnish scale-up that has found a good product market fit, scale of operations and technical difficulty is so big that it's very interesting, big partners want to work with us, the choice of several big brands that are known across the whole planet. Helsinki office is really nice and the snacks and breakfasts are great.

      Cons

      Some technical debt here and there caused by the rapid growth and historically letting all teams have their own ways of working and tools. The office building currently under renovation, hopefully done by summer/autumn.

      Pros

      On the surface, the company has potential. Powerful platform that connects with a wide range of channels. But that’s where it ends.

      Cons

      Do you like constantly moving targets? How about no firm product roadmap? Or maybe poor executive leadership that pushes you to your breaking point? Then Smartly is the place for you. Breakdowns among executive leadership from sales, marketing, and product all make for the perfect storm of chaos that is impossible to navigate. You’ll join endless all-hands meetings with C-Suites screaming “GSD” paired with “push push push” as their version of a rally cry for everyone to meet aggressive quarterly targets. Culture is toxic and unenjoyable. Employee turnover is constant, whether by choice or by force. There is no time for celebration for any type of wins, whether they be on a department or company level. If you’re looking for a rewarding experience, this is not it.
