Pros

Salaries are good and the perks (gym membership, healthy food, drinks, coffee, private health insurance, unlimited vacation, flexible work, language courses, learning & development allowance) are fantastic. There are a lot of nice people willing to help each other and some teams have a good environment where you can have fun, collaborate and and learn while working.

Cons

1) We currently have a culture of fear, which means anyone can be fired on the spot for no reason. This has happened several times. One person got fired when a new hire took his position, only 10 days after being assured that this wouldn't happen. Another one got fired even though the entire team worked well with him and he proved to be one of the most efficient and innovative team members, bringing a lot of value and building bridges with other teams. Another one got fired because the newly hired boss didn't like him and the fact that the rest of the team did and valued his contributions didn't matter. Another one got fired leaving a team with only 1 person doing the job of 4. And so on, and so on. 2) Managers seem to be untouchable and can get away with anything. For example, they can lie to their employees' faces or prevent people from being promoted, making up rules that don't exist. They tend to be arrogant people with inflated egos who disregard any opinion coming from anyone at a more junior position. They favor employees they get on well with while bullying the ones they personally dislike. 3) HR managed to make everyone in the team leave, so it's now composed of people who have been in the company not longer than 6-8 months. They consistently encourage employees to talk to them if they have any problem and promise to help. The reality is that they don't do anything to help because they don't acknowledge that in some cases, the problems are directly caused by the managers. On some occasions they have breached the confidentiality of those meetings. 4) The members of the Leadership Team have neither people nor public speaking skills so Company meetings have become an unbearable ordeal where they either bore everyone or angrily explain data/decisions made. 5) There is no clear direction and Company values and goals seem to change every few months.

No longer a top start-up. Deified mediocre bottom tier leadership.

Pros

- L&D budget. - Unlimited holidays (this is just a bait, if you do what you are really supposed to do there's no time for longer holidays than the standard amount). - Free lunch, fruits and excellent coffee. Nice offices although wrong neighborhood. - Health insurance with Cigna which is a really good one. - Slippers. As you can see these pros are just social benefits. There were not any pros related to the role I was developing. Basically I lost 2 years of my life. The company pretends to be a top-notch tech company but they are completely lost. Salary is not bad. In the past it was above industry benchmark, currently average or below industry.

Cons

To sum up, back in the past, the leadership team was not the best in the world, however they had an idea and they worked wholeheartedly towards it. Then, Joaquim Lecha was appointed as an advisor for the board of directors, suddenly some months later he was appointed COO and then CEO. This was Typeform's death sentence. Joaquim Lecha doesn't have charisma to be a CEO. He doesn't have any clarity and he is extremely boring, nobody is engaged after hearing his discourse. After this, his friends, a new CFO and a new CPO joined typeform. And then the pattern was repeated with other positions. Do you have great ideas that will eclipse the C-level team? Save them and use them in another company. Current C-level team will always believe that are better than you...
