Another year of withheld merit increases

Business Outlook

Pros

- Looks good on paper

Cons

- Push to return to office. - Compensation is nowhere competitive as what they say it is. Jr engineers at other companies make more than Sr engineers here. - No merit increases (aka raises for this year) - New CEO means new drastic changes, have yet to see any positive results

This evolution is not a step back but a step forward, blending office and home presence to take the best out of both worlds and boost purposeful collaboration. And while we keep offering flexible options to foster a healthy work-life balance for all, we also believe in the power and value of in-person connection.

A company in full panic mode

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Still some islands of decency and employee-centric culture.

Cons

A company heavily impacted by the shifting advertising market and losing its European roots and decency through a creeping americanisation. We moved from being nice and inclusive to "my way or the highway" mode.
