Pluspunten

Talented colleagues, exposure to a variety of AI projects, opportunities to work with clients across different industries, and hands-on experience with AI tools and infrastructure. The people at botpress is what makes botpress really shine.

Minpunten

Heavy workloads and consistently aggressive deadlines often resulted in long hours with little recognition. Career growth and mentorship opportunities were limited, making it difficult for junior developers to develop and progress. Internal processes could be disorganized, creating unnecessary challenges and uncertainty. This is not an environment where junior talent is set up to thrive; it is better suited to experienced professionals who can navigate ambiguity and high-pressure situations. Layoffs, particularly among junior employees, appear to be a recurring pattern, and the loss of several highly talented team members raises concerns about leadership and long-term talent retention. For candidates evaluating multiple opportunities, I would strongly encourage careful consideration of alternatives. The company has interesting projects and talented people, but organizational issues often overshadow those positives. Leadership can feel disconnected from the day-to-day realities faced by employees, resulting in decisions that are difficult to understand from an employee perspective.

Pluspunten

The company has friendly people, decent pay

Minpunten

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
