Pros

The initial Portuguese mindset was really inspiring throughout the company. In the beginning the CEO was really authentic and a true leader, but now doing an act of smiling. The product is top notch and created by brilliant minds! It was a great place to work with a great atmosphere, but now we are only shouting it out loud.

Cons

The change after the US investor is significant, ripping the great culture apart. New leadership is onboarding buddies that do not fit the company culture. The disease is spreading underneath the surface, and I hope they detect is soon enough to stop this.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
