In my opinion the problems are: * If you're not working in devops, don't expect to feel appreciated. Sales people don't know how to sell you and marketing is not very interested in marketing you either. * Poor upper management: No noticeable vision or appreciation for anything not directly related to devops, which is a pity. * Poor HR: It feels like people are treated like resources; any empathy is unfortunately very well hidden. The main purpose seems to be to keep the upper management happy. * Issues (mostly related to treating people as people, not as numbers) seem to get swept under the rug: they are whispered about in the corridors or in private Slack conversations, instead of being handled publicly. I would thus describe the company's attitude as arrogant. * Salary and benefits below average when compared to competitors. * No career paths in my experience. * Rapidly buying a multitude of new companies without handling the issues above or taking care of the wellbeing of the existing employees. * No real values: In my opinion the current ones are about how the company expects the employees to act so that they can make more money to the clients and investors. For example, openness, humanity, empathy, honesty, sustainability, responsibility, and respect are words that are not mentioned at all in the company values, which shows.

I dislike that there the recruitment threshold doesn't exclude 'insert vulgar word here', it introduces toxicity into the company culture, and from my observations, team leaders don't really care, or they see it as something too difficult to resolve, so there is a degree of apathy there. My point is that while the majority of people, and the culture is positive, there have been enough bad experiences in the company that I don't really feel that I fit, or I feel uncomfortable associating with it. In summary, there are too many ego maniacs, extroverted types who would rather talk than think deeply about problems, and narcissists. Salary is rubbish compared within the EU. You're disposable during times of economic turmoil. There is no intimacy, or familiar feeling within the company - it has grown so large overall, and even certain teams seem to focus only on increasing headcount, rather than fostering a good internal culture. That is why I don't really see it as somewhere I want to stay long term.
