Pros

Used to be remote, but sadly now they force employees to come to the office, even those who are not from Bucharest.

Cons

Toxic manager and HR at the Bucharest office, you have to deal with both micro management, and with a manager that likes to laugh at the overworked employees in the monthly meetings. High work volumes and overtime for a small salary.

Pros

- The people who you work with are genuinely kind, intelligent, and resourceful. - Sometimes the work is interesting. - Unlimited Discretionary Time Off (i.e. your manager has to approve it).

Cons

- Career development is nonexistent unless you came in as a VP. - RTO mandate. - The pay is not competitive, and will remain below par regardless of your performance. Expect annual raises below the rate of inflation. - The difference between what higher-ups assume our products and data sources can do often does not line up with reality. - The company donated the salaries of ~4 people to Trump's birthday party and then laid off a significant portion of the workforce. - Constant emails from HR welcoming new VP-level hires while everyone else who actually works has to fill in the gaps caused by the layoffs and sees nothing in return. - You will be pestered to vote for the CEO in every meaningless popularity contest that comes up, consigning you to a lifetime of spam email.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. With over three years at Exiger, your feedback matters. We’re glad you’ve had a positive experience with your colleagues, building strong, capable teams is something we value. That said, many of the claims in your review, particularly around compensation decisions, layoffs, and external activities, are either inaccurate or lack important context. We take transparency seriously and do not make decisions that compromise our values or our people. We recognize that periods of change can create frustration, especially around workload, communication, and career progression. These are areas we are actively working to improve, including clearer development paths, more consistent communication, and continued evaluation of compensation practices. We welcome candid feedback, but it’s important that it remains constructive and grounded in fact. We encourage employees to raise concerns directly so they can be addressed in a meaningful and productive way.
