Pluspunten

- hired engineers are top 10% - engineers gets quite much freedom on technical things - salary was above average (not anymore)

Minpunten

- weak and most of the times incompetent leadership. Cronyism = friends hire other friends to C level - hire 100+ engineers in Q1 then layoff 60 in Q4 (not in same teams) - built a Ruby + Java based tech stack over years, hired ppl accordingly. Than decide to be a JS company - crunch time is heavy due to EU/US timezone diffs

Pluspunten

Very nice co-workers Benefits are at least average Work life balance is ok, flexible time off and decent holidays Don’t have to work that hard, great place to retire Focused on AI though the foundations for it aren’t there - as if we’re trying to check the box for a board

Minpunten

Pretty much a start up with terrible systems and processes Little to no investment in any supporting functions rooted in the TB days of prioritizing margin Cross-functional work is disorganized with horrible change management Complacency across the board. Seems like the old people are just waiting for their equity to vest, doing the absolute bare minimum Clearly an edtech company which feels a lot like what the government must be like Atrocious decision making Senior leaders care more about politics and their own egos than making the company better. Like everyone has an agenda I cannot imagine worse systems setup or data
