Pluspunten

The surviving engineers are super good, they'll go above and beyond to help you. This was truly an awesome tech company to work for.

Minpunten

After the Thomas Bravo acquisition they decided everyone is expendable, huge layoffs and no clear mission. They now decided WFH and all flexibility that comes with it is over, one of the new guidelines is you can't have a child at home when you are WFH... and 3 days a week in the office... when normally engineering teams are geographically spread out, so you'll be in the office alone, just so leadership can feel good when they come to the office and see you. They claim they are building culture... while destroying the best culture I've ever seen in a tech company. They also decided you have to report in advance at what hours you are gonna be working. They call this flexibility... but now you can't pop out for a GP appointment and compensate in the afternoon without making a huge deal out of it. It's sad to see your direct manager having no power or information, they are just out to make a quick buck even if that means destroying the company on the long run. PS: with all the new anti flexibility rules if you are from one of the groups that benefited from that, just run.. office drinks are back for old white males

Pluspunten

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Minpunten

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
