Ventajas
Amazing, professional people who care about the company and the product. All engineers are senior and carefully selected, creating an efficient work environment. Everyone works hard, motivating and helping each other. The code is of excellent quality, teams are professionally managed, decisions are well-documented, and there are appropriate processes in place. I could trust people to deliver what they promised, as everyone was accountable for their product. I learned a lot about how good a workplace can be.
Desventajas
The management made poor decisions by scaling the company too rapidly, relying solely on funding. This resulted in multiple unfinished products that never had a chance to generate revenue. Consequently, the company was forced to lay off many valuable employees. The most troubling aspect is that they intentionally hired people with families to maintain low turnover, and now these families are struggling. Unfortunately the management blamed its employees for its poor financial performance, leaving staff feeling that their efforts were unappreciated. The way the layoffs were handled was also poor. Regardless of how hard you worked or what value you brought to the company, they just pick you arbitrarily and you’re gone.
