Pros

Work from Anywhere policy - offers flexible working, great for family Lots of young people here and nice colleagues. Workload is low compared to similar jobs at other companies, sometimes feels like a retirement job

Cons

Major restructuring planned for this year, plan to reduce headcount by 10-15%, after hiring over 80% of its workforce in 2022, a result of recession, harder to get funding and over-hiring. Work from Anywhere policy - Productivity is a lot lower compared to other companies who are hybrid or office based, things take longer to get done, people whose status are permanently "online" but sometimes not working, might have even gone for a day out! WFA means too much free rein and freedom to everyone hence company losing profit. Ambitious and top performers tend to leave after 6 months.

Pros

The teammates I worked with were pleasant and nice to work with. You can work from anywhere (within certain countries in the EU).

Cons

Need managers who are more experienced in managing people. Leadership can make you feel guilty and not competent in your job - makes you second guess yourself if you are qualified because of the obstacles they throw at you. Feels impossible to climb the career ladder. Work-life balance is up to you on how you manage your hours etc, but it can be hard to manage with all the topics that are given to you.
