Pros
1. Company is very flexible with Home Office 2. Smart, talented and awesome people 3. An exciting (yet poorly executed) idea They offer a good package of benefits, the offices are very good and well located. Payments occur on time.
Kontras
I have to say that previous negative reviews are not only correct, but still relevant as I’ve been a witness to all of them. Your career growth will depend on establishing a good liege-to-vassal relationship with the correct people. If you fail to do so, you’ll fail on anything else. Technical knowledge, experience and even your talent are not valued as there’s only one rule: do as I we say, because. If you are not part of the House of Lords your ideas will be silenced, attacked or just ignored but never discussed. No recognition, your effort, passion and sacrifice are undervalued. There’s no way you can build a career out from your own merits as the finger seems to always cherry-pick from a very selected group of people, based on nothing except subjective reasons. Everybody else is out. Concepts like team, leadership and mentoring seem not to be important. TOs and POs seem to be so busy with their own personalistic ego-feeding velocity that none has or takes the time to lead and mentor people. They see your strengths as a danger to their status quo. Feedback is avoided and conflicts are ignored, no candid 1o1. Upper management is deaf to uncomfortable/hard questions, they ignore your messages even over the slack. Teams are not allowed to evolve through Tuckman’s 5 stages of development as they are conformed and disbanded on every mission, so expect some chaos. No XP/SCRUM/AGILE methodology, just pure improvised ideas. If you like risky adventures then you’d be ok, but if you have a family, please think twice.
