Pros

I worked with great team. Of course more than half of the people who knew what they were doing resigned or got laid out. So it's in the past.

Cons

Many. When the team wss still there there were already red flags. GP pays below market - they say they don't but in Ireland it is between 15k-25k below what you can get in other places. You work from home but they only give you a measly 300 euro allowance when you join. They promote people once per year. I have seen SE level 2 consistently doing a work of a senior and still not getting promoted. That stings a lot, but what stings even more is when you see some random people geing promoted that are the butt of jokes - because they hardly do any work. After leadership change the company runs purely on politics. It's all about who you know and whether you will blindly agree to deliver a solution ignorant leadership team wants you to deliver. If not then one day your colleagues suddenly can't reach you on slack, or are surprised that you can't support their project anymore. You just got laid and the leadership team had no common courtesy to even assess the impact it might have on other teams or tell them. Just read other comments. I resigned in the middle of 2023 seeing what the company turns into. They have had 3 rounds of layoffs and the people who stayed (the hard working ones at least) are most likely waiting till March to get the annual bonuses and go somewhere else.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
