Pluspunten

- amazing people in my immediate team (probably the best I've ever worked with in my career) - WFH - decent benefits package - initially it was all great, we had a lot of room for growth and improvement - everything is data-based, so you don't have to play the guessing game on what's working and what's not

Minpunten

- diminishing budgets (e.g. EoY party cancelled, less budget for training etc.), despite the company growing YoY; - no job stability - if you decide to work here, know that come March and you might get laid off (March layoffs have already happened there twice during my 2,5-year tenure) - if you're not laid off, expect that the management has no plan or strategy for what's next; - middle-to-upper management in general: some of them have tendencies to micromanage and push their own ideas despite the data explicitly revealing that they just don't work; - the same management is also guilty of not defending their own ideas when C-suite criticize them, effectively having the team take the hit; - the company changes its strategy A LOT, even within a single project or product, so no stability here, either.

Pluspunten

Compensation is competitive and fairly above market, and the work-life balance is real — not just a talking point. Benefits were solid across the board.

Minpunten

The biggest challenge was the lack of organizational direction. Design teams were largely left to operate without clear strategic guidance, which made it difficult to align work to meaningful outcomes. There were gatekeepers at key decision points that slowed progress without adding clarity. On the product side, many product managers struggled to articulate the problems they were actually trying to solve. This created friction in the design process and made it hard to build experiences grounded in user needs. Without a shared problem definition, teams end up building in circles. My team was laid off about a month ago, which I mention as context — not with bitterness. But it does reflect a broader pattern of reactive decision-making rather than proactive planning
