Pros

- Fully remote - Nice engineering culture

Cons

It used to be a nice place before 2025. Now it seems to be in the endless fire. Directors are planning to have x2... x3 company growth year-to-year but the company never achieves that and C-level managers blaming contributors. After Naira devaluation early in 2024 the CEO decided to diversify business in different countries - that sounds promising - but the pre-analysis of the markets was poor, tens of teams spent months to work on this and finally this was completely deprioritized 1 year later, closing already opened markets. A lot of experienced engineering contributors were either directly kicked by the C-office or forced to leave the company. For instance in 2023, weeks before leaving the colleagues left hearth-warming messages in the general channel, thanking everyone for productive work. Since 2025 there is no single such message. You want to contact an important expert and you can see his profile is just gray and deactivated. And high management is not even announcing that anyone is leaving or joining the team - he runs the meeting as nothing is changed. Economy saving on staff is always on. The only raise I had in 4 year was 5% once. For other 3 years management was always finding some excuses, even though yearly reviews were good. Currently they are hiring exclusively in India or Africa to have cheaper workforce. C-board went completely crazy in 2026, firing contributors for missing business objectives. The job is done as requested by the C-level manager, but it brings no business impact: C-level manager kicks the contributors. Micromanagement in all teams since 2026 - time of meeting is wasted on some irrelevant details, while the core problems are abandoned because management doesn't want nor can help solving them. This all to create an impression that the contributor works bad. The company feels like a boar in a firing wood - it runs somewhere and breaks things. Go there for some experience, but currently the ambience is extremely poor. Even here on GD it used to have a score of 4.1 in 2023, but in 2026 it went down to 3.2. It doesn't look that C-board knows the direction they are going. Something is wrong with this business.
