Pros

The company now is not what used it to be 2 years ago. There are still few great people left there.

Cons

Bad management promoting toxic people to top positions which led to great people leaving the company and changing it from a nice place to work to a nightmare. The new office is awful and forcing people to go to office at least 3 days per week is pushing more and more great people to leave. When they were hiring people from everywhere in Bulgaria they did not think they will bring them back to office and suddenly 2 months ago - "We don't care where you live, you should come to the office every week 3 days..." They kicked a whole team out (Native team) few months ago saying that the company has no vision for the apps. Then suddenly they had a vision - the rest of the teams to do that job :D. And few weeks ago fired another 20 people in both locations - playing and toying around trying to do it without compensation. Meanwhile people keep leaving - who would want to work in such environment and do the work for 3 people.... The company has been going down for months, now it is below bottom...
