Sinking ship

Pros

People are approachable. New tech stack.

Cons

CEO announced in the last all hands that the runaway had been extended to mid summer thanks to some cost saving measures. 10 days later XYB announced a new round of layoffs. Around 30% of the total workforce between Estonia and London. No severance package (never heard of this in a tech company before, shocking). Also because the company needs to do a consultation to see who is finally made redundant, a bigger percentage of the staff has been waiting for a week, not knowing if they will loose their jobs or not. Apart from the above, XYB is not good for software engineers imo; there is no career progression or a process for it, no real knowledge sharing within teams to upskill other staff and working here feels chaotic most of the time. I can't recommend this company to anyone, I wish them good luck but it's hard to imagine them succeeding if they can't get a single client to sign a deal...

Pros

Semi work from home / remote work

Cons

Running out of money, maybe the company last for an extra month until August 2025? There is no actual product and no one is using it. Nonsense changes like team structure Squeezing top engineers with the promise of option shares Not very collaborative They don't use good industry practices Fake it till you make it / Building the plane while flying it mentality from the leadership, specially the american part.

Pros

Genuinely dynamic and fast moving, with an honest and open culture. Not my first time at a rapid-paced business, but XYB has thoroughly delivered. There's loads going on, an amazing set of products at the technological bleeding edge, huge enthusiasm from a great team, and real direction from leadership. Excellent.

Cons

None that I can think of.
