If you’re stuck between here and somewhere else, take the other offer - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Botpress: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The company has friendly people, decent pay

Very immature leadership. They were hiring like crazy shortly before laying off over 35% of their employees. Nobody saw it coming except the exec team, who apparently didn't mind firing 35% of their employees if things go wrong, especially the new joiners. Transparency is definitely not one of their values. Join this company only while continuing to look elsewhere

company is headed in a good direction

Leadership can backseat drive a bit.
