Pros

- Work/life balance with the additional 12 days of PTO due to Corona - Not stressful, no pressure from the management, relaxed environment - Great colleagues (even though the hiring bar is lowering)

Cons

- No more engineering culture - Since when the company went private the goal is not anymore making great products but saving money - The company lost its ability to hire, so the quality of hiring is lowering - US/Canada centric company, offices in Europe are 2nd class and are just pawn

Work-life balance is common on the list of “Pros” we see – we’re happy to hear you enjoy that, the environment, and your colleagues. Even though you’ve pointed out some frustrations, we appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback for us. We hope you were able to share this feedback in our employee engagement survey. To your point about hiring, we hired over 860 new people to join us in 2021. Those colleagues are incredibly deserving of the positions they’ve filled. We celebrate the success people who have left had with us. And welcome talent searching for their next adventure. Thank you for your candor.
