Pros

It was a good work environment initially, but now the team is facing significant work pressure.

Cons

• Poor working environment • High levels of pressure and unrealistic expectations • Inadequate salary and compensation structure • Weak leadership, particularly at the Engineering Director level • App ratings have significantly declined over the past two years • Consistently poor decision-making from the leadership team • Engineering Managers lack sufficient mobile development knowledge — a proper technical assessment should be introduced • Backend developers have been reassigned to build front-end/mobile features (a decision driven by the Engineering Director), leading to poor app lifecycle management and negatively impacting app performance • A high number of voluntary resignations from the engineering team • Frequent layoffs, contributing to instability • Decreased job security, causing concern among employees

Pros

Great product and team with a good trajectory.

Cons

Not a "con", but just like any other early-stage startup, it is a fast-paced around-the-clock workplace.
