Pros
Although typeform undergoes some changes, I do not agree with the negative ratings of my colleagues. I've worked for several startups in the past years and can say that typeform is not only a great place to work at but also an amazing opportunity for those who want to learn and grow. I think my experience in the startup world gives me a view on the status quo that is unbiased and based on facts and experience rather than personal opinions that are often stated as the truth. Yes, the company undergoes changes, changes that were urgently needed for the business in order to grow. Some of my colleagues look for an environment where you can hang out and chill. At the same time, they complain that nothing was moving in the past. Well, maybe you are part of the problem? Ever thought about that? Our C-level, that I work with regularly in person is actually truly outstanding - at least to me. They are skilled, fun and good people too - which is not always a given. I would want to know how many of the negative ratings have actually spoken to them to make up their opinion. Last but not least, I do not agree with the constant firing rumor. For me, any person that was let go so far was for a good reason. Either they were not skilled enough or they were looking for an environment where achievement and winning together was not on the top list of priorities - at least that is what I can observe from the outside as I have not worked close to all of them. I think it is not only the job of a Manager to take care of these things but also necessary to help others grow, especially when colleagues have a negative impact on teams or the company. I would be scared if my manager would not make a call in these cases. From colleagues to colleagues, to those who state their personal opinion based on rumors from angry people: Please leave the company as soon as possible. You are clearly not getting it and your personal opinion is not the truth.
Cons
The company currently undergoes changes that make it more challenging to achieve things, especially when you work with teams that lack skills and knowledge. I know that the company is working hard to bring in the right people and to upskill the others but it still causes some hiccups on the day2day.

Pros
Lovely people to work with and you'll learn a lot although, more recently, you learn less from good examples and more from mistakes. Good lunches, Barception and the offices are nice. Flexible working is great and I was able to get any software, trainings or tech that I asked for.
Cons
A lot of people have given up on giving feedback as it can feel that, at best, it will be ignored and, at worst, it will be held against you and used as evidence that you are not a cultural fit etc. When people stop giving their opinions they are then criticised for not contributing and, when you care about the company and your colleagues, this is a very tiring cycle to watch and be a part of. The move towards a more corporate and ruthless approach wasn't for me. Typeform always used to treat people with respect and empathy but, after a pretty big backlash against what seemed like a never-ending stream of firings, a new set of values were eventually introduced with empathy as one of the focus points. The firings didn't seem to slow down for very long and it felt like Typeform had to try and put a process in place for something that had been a key part of its culture not long previously. One positive thing gained from this was the number of synonyms for firing I learned but, in the end, it just got too distracting and demoralising wondering who was going to be the next one to 'reach an agreement' and trying to make sense of it, and I stopped enjoying my work. Worst of all, after speaking to a number of these ex-employees it became clear that we weren't being told the truth by the Leadership Team which made me generally distrustful of what I was being told by management.
