Pros

good work life balance overall product and sector with a lot of potential (though it feels wasted)

Cons

A lot of changes in the culture for the worst Frequent reorgs, top-down driven, without long term strategy Gradually removing the remote policy Compensation is virtually frozen Feedback from employees is being ignored An all time high turnover, all time low engagement without the leadership questioning their decisions. Generally speaking it feels like they are not accountable Low engineering bar

Pros

The offices are in coworking spaces, you can network and get a better job!

Cons

The company has recently turned into a LinkedIn post generator. The new CEO is clueless about technology and is desperately trying to force AI into everything just so he can sell the company soon. He’s also hired a few of his BCG friends to turn Spendesk into a truly soulless corporation, where everyone competes for the tiny breadcrumbs the C-level execs throw down from their golden tower. The engineering team is the most disengaged group in the company — and for good reason. We’re forced to build the wrong things, and the direction and strategy change every four months. This company offers nothing in terms of growth or a good atmosphere. The culture and values changed the moment the new CEO arrived.. And they changed to nothing.
