Pros

Aiven are you classic tech company that is on the forefront of cloud infrastructure. Despite being a big company, the culture is still down to earth and you can form strong connections with team members. Great perks which include insurance, learning budgets, and a trip to Spain!

Cons

Huge layoffs, which is understandable. Introduced an RTO which didn't make sense in some situations. I haven't been here long enough to see any other cons though. They also made huge decisions that impacted my department without consulting us.

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
