Pros

Worked with highly talented, supportive, and collaborative colleagues Strong team bonding at the peer level

Cons

Over time, the company culture began to decline. Many good employees either left on their own or were let go without prior warning. There appears to be a hire-and-fire pattern, often justified under “restructuring.” Recently, even newly hired employees were terminated within a year for similar reasons. There is also significant pressure around public reviews. Employees are encouraged to post positive reviews on platforms like Glassdoor, which raises concerns about transparency. Compensation growth has been minimal, typically ranging between 1–4%, and management often uses the same justification across teams, claiming individuals are the only ones receiving raises. This creates a lack of trust and transparency. Work-life balance is another major concern. Long working hours (often 12 hours a day) and weekend work have become common expectations. Micromanagement at the top level further affects morale and productivity. The company has undergone significant downsizing and currently operates with a very small team, including no dedicated sales team. Leadership has communicated plans to rely heavily on AI for development, reducing the need for developers. Frequent layoffs, lack of clear direction, and declining culture raise concerns about long-term stability and growth. There are also ongoing discussions about a potential sale of the company.
