Pros

One of the worst companies I have ever encountered when it comes to managing its employees — and this rot stems entirely from the top: the so-called "CEOs." As a result, there is total team disengagement (selective favoritism aside) and an appallingly poor communication style from senior management. You must understand: the company is constantly shrinking due to chaotic, sky-high employee turnover. The tragic irony? The fewer employees remain, the more painfully close you will find yourself to senior management’s erratic and toxic oversight. The core problem? These "leaders" see only numbers — viciously blinded by figures, completely oblivious to the human machinery actually keeping the company alive. A "fun fact": The three senior heads exert authoritarian behavior at an extreme level while having little to no clue about the reality outside their insulated, self-destructive bubble. They appear like phantoms — only surfacing occasionally to mark their existence as main actors in a play of collapse. I could easily write a novel about the micromanagement hellscape here, but I’ll keep it (painfully) brief: Leadership skills are non-existent. Motivation is non-existent. Vision is non-existent. All you’ll hear is talk about selling more deals/products — without even understanding that revenue without team loyalty is a sandcastle waiting for a wave. The senior management is utterly clueless about true leadership. They hide behind bloated egos while ignoring the core reality: True profit emerges from transparency, empathy, constructive feedback, and empowering teams — not fear, intimidation, and exploitation. A leadership course on basic soft skills should be mandatory for these individuals — and repeated quarterly. Meanwhile, the rank-and-file employees — my sincere respect — are mostly hardworking, talented people. Colleagues often pull extra hours, sacrifice personal time, and push hard for success... And what do they get? No recognition — unless from fellow like-minded colleagues (who inevitably leave within a year). Only a small cluster of golden goose sales executives is keeping this house of cards upright. Mark my words: The day these last loyal soldiers pack their bags, this company collapses overnight. Imagine it: A company surviving 85% on the grueling efforts of barely a handful of people. That’s not a business model. That’s a death sentence. Make no mistake: The walls are already crumbling — accelerating toward total collapse. Wherever you are, whoever you are: Never — EVER — consider working for this parody of a company. Unless, of course, you enjoy being treated like a disposable asset, dehumanized, and condescended at every turn. Normally, I keep reviews short. But sometimes... When you see true rot at the core, you must speak out. And to the senior management reading this: You know exactly who you are. Every action has a consequence. And yours are catching up faster than you think.

Pros

Great colleagues, everyone is young and from different cultures. S&S is only 3 years old but growing very fast, and it is great to be a part of this. The office is designed as a place like home. Because the company is rapidly growing and young, so a lot of structure is not yet there which is a great opportunity: you can think about improving and innovation every day. Also your work life balance is very good here

Kontras

You can miss structure and guidelines, if you are not the person that wants to think out of the box every day
