Pros
- Transparency from leadership. All metrics - including financials, budgets, priorities, and major decisions - are genuinely accessible across the company. Management answers questions openly, acknowledges past mistakes, and is willing to reassess decisions. - Compensation package. The company offers strong pay, including performance-based equity/options. - Modern technology stack. There is a clear effort to stay at the forefront of technology, which helps attract high-calibre talent. - Mission-driven culture. Some employees who leave for higher salaries elsewhere eventually return because of the product and mission. That says more than any statement.
Cons
- Frequent changes in direction. The company often shifts direction. While leadership is transparent about this and acknowledges past inefficiencies, it can still create instability. - Accumulating technical debt. Technical debt built up over ~10 years does not receive sufficient attention. Product features are consistently prioritised, and ownership of some areas is unclear. - Limited location flexibility. Relocation is currently limited to the UK ↔ Lithuania. Leadership has taken a firm stance against opening additional EU offices despite employee demand, and some employees remain due to visa constraints.
