No longer the FV we used to know.

Pros

Used to be a great company during the leadership of former CEO and CTO before EQT bought over.

Cons

Unless you work in Sofia office, your job will be at risk. The current CEO and C-levels only care for their own pocket without thinking of customer. Closing down offices and laying off employee is what they are good at. This is no longer a global company.

New Management a Disaster

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Company has a number of good products and services Previous management provided transparency and autonomy to staff

Cons

Power lies only on 1 person's hands (new CEO), with lesser power for other C-level and leadership members. New management only cares about legacy Decipher folks with less focus on other locations, resulting in tremendous drop in sales. Staff are also disengaged with unrealistic sales targets, resulting in numerous departures. This led to a couple of offices closing globally and lay offs (first of its kind in organisation). It's sad to see that a potentially great company has reduced to a pile of mess. I hope that with the new CEO gone, the company can finally turn around and become a better company again.
