Pros
- The work itself isn’t overly complex, you can finish your tasks efficiently and maintain a good work-life balance. - Pay is fair considering the workload and the ability to fully disconnect after hours.
Cons
- Senior leadership brought in a Product organization but continues to operate in a traditional, top-down way. - Product teams mainly execute instructions rather than shape the platform or strategy. - SEO holds a disproportionate amount of influence over product decisions, often prioritizing short-term traffic over user experience or product quality. - The company insists on rebuilding internal tools (like A/B testing systems) from scratch, which leads to flimsy, time-consuming, and unreliable solutions. - The tech stack is largely legacy-based, making development slower and less efficient. - There’s little space to challenge decisions or drive change — strategy is often ignored once leadership decides otherwise. - Leadership frequently changes the scope of prior commitments, creating confusion and frustration across teams. - The environment has become toxic: people are afraid to speak up, leading to a lack of proactivity since extra effort rarely pays off. Good luck being a woman or queer. - Feedback culture is poor — management focuses on criticism rather than support or growth. People are rude in all channels: meetings, emails, Slack messages... - There’s a noticeable divide between Eastern European employees and others; some stakeholders even refuse to communicate in English. - Unfortunately, the design team has no real ownership. They simply deliver on orders instead of driving user-centered outcomes.
