Pros

Healthy core of the company, not broken by new management so far. Most of the teams are running on healthy tech stack with ability to share knowledge and tooling. Very good experience from response on big security vulnerabilities (like log4shell, spring boot, ...). Lot of clever people to work with.

Cons

10x motto -> let's have 1 hour long presentation per 5 minutes of information. Random project prioritization usually there is like 5-10 top priority projects at once (4 different frameworks to plan goals fighting with each other). New company benefits like flowerpot or company day off planed on Saturday or on public holidays. Previous company values (agreed by all employees) thrown away and new company values have been chosen by few managers - effort to redefine the company culture from the top.

Strong Leadership at C-Level (low EGO) Depth of product and areas of investment/innovation Market tailwinds Very strong team (seems to raise the bar with each hire) Long-term mindset

Cons

Prague HQ means a natural lag on some processes in the US but good progress in removing dependencies

Thank you for the kind review! We are privileged to work with amazingly talented people right across the company, the bar is very high, and in the past years, this has indeed attracted the most incredible people to work here. We'll keep working on ensuring high responsiveness in all our activities. Thank you for the feedback!

Since we don't have, and never have had, a salesperson based in Jacksonville, FL, I will say i think this review is 'fake news'.
