Pros

Decent salary (when not cut randomly), lunch provided, good team mates.

Cons

The CEO is a mini-tyrant, meaning there is literally zero job security for anyone not in the tight circle. People were in one minute, out the next just because they've said 'the wrong thing' or gotten on the wrong side of the boss (v. easy to do.) Also, very little communication between departments, and the management seems more focused on their secondary business (developing software) rather than actually promoting Icelandic tourism (meaning developers are hired, and everyone else is out—an example; when WOW air went under, many of their staff were hired. Employees who had otherwise been loyal were sent away to make room for new people on higher salaries.)

Pros

The experience was eye-opening and made me more cautious and selective in my future job searches.

Cons

Toxic environment with zero respect for employees — stay away I worked at this company for a year, and that was more than enough. The owner is emotionally unstable — frequent outbursts, unpredictable decisions, and aggressive communication are the norm. There is no proper management or planning. Deadlines are completely unrealistic, and any attempt to question them is met with hostility. You're expected to be available 24/7, when you are on shift. Evenings, weekends, holidays — it doesn’t matter. If you're not online, you're treated as if you're slacking off. To make things worse, many highly skilled professionals were let go under the vague excuse of "budget cuts." These were people who were competent, dedicated, and well-liked by the team — which made it even more obvious that the issue wasn’t money, but mismanagement and lack of respect. There’s no professional development, no constructive feedback — only stress, chaos, and burnout. The atmosphere is suffocating. People walk on eggshells every day, afraid of being yelled at or fired for no reason. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. Not even as a first job. It’s simply not worth it — no salary can make up for the psychological toll.

Pros

Great cafeteria and coworkers and realy nice office space.

Cons

The founder uses to much of drugs and is either in realy good mood or crazy, nothing in betwen. Uses public shaming when the results are no to his liking and has usualy 2-3 emploies at the office, he uses as a personal puncing bag. Goes back and forth with decisions and does not let the employes know, but shouts at them for not reading his mind. Throws out all talent that does not agree with all his ideas, surrounds himself with yes people.
