Pros

The product is clearly world-class and way ahead of its competition. Salaries are above average levels and high-performers got over 35% raise over the last 12 months (at least in Budapest). Cool benefits like extra wellness, moving holidays, vision and dental care, management training etc. The product roadmap and company has a very defined vision.

Cons

Really high-expectations and heavy workloads. In the past the hiring bar wasn’t set high enough and given the growth, lot of people were laid off lately, which caused un-happinness and fear. Lot of inexperienced people were promoted as managers (who didn’t have any other jobs before) as most of them are failing. Many coworker has no idea how startups are working and showing high level of entitlement. WFH depends on the manager.

Pros

Great business outlook, people are generally nice and great to work with.

Cons

Inexperienced founders that don't know what they're asking for, and who keep changing priorities. The CRO/President of GTM is toxic and it is recommended to stay away. He is the de facto CEO of the company.
