Pros

Great engineers and opportunities to work on new things The team is great. I have lots of great friends amongst my colleagues. The culture is good and respects boundaries and work-life balance. In general, the company tries to do the right thing by its employees. Previously I gave a quite scathing review of the company, notably its CEO. I think we are now a company on the mend, the strategy is starting to make sense and the CEO is more capable than I originally gave him credit for.

Cons

Some middle management on the Norwegian side is very poor. We should demand a higher standard. Middle management sometimes gets excited about vanity projects that go nowhere, and often are not receptive to concerns from engineers. Technical debt is very high in some products (although teams are given the space and independence to improve this, which is good)

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate your honesty regarding your experience with middle management. We are working through re-alignment and refocusing our employees and leaders on what is priority vs what is not priority to execute on. We do appreciate your feedback and welcome any other suggestions you may have.

Pros

I had some really amazing people who took time to help me be successful in my role. The benefits are amazing and the ability to work remote is nice as well. Also, they take you on some nice trips!

Cons

Their can be a very clique vibe when you do attend something onsite and it can feel like there is some sort of favoritism for employees who go to the office. There are people who quietly do that job well and aren’t really noticed and others who make sure to rub elbows with the right people as much as possible to advance their careers and it appears to work quite well at Pexip. The company also hired a lot of people in 2021 and in 2022 let a lot of employees go. They did one set of lay offs and assured the rest of us their were not going to be anymore lay offs. Shortly after that they were laying off people here and there and then in November did another massive layoff.

We appreciate you taking the time to share feedback. Glad to hear that you enjoyed Pexip's benefits package and the work life balance that is offered. We strive to make sure that our benefit offerings are competitive and valuable to our employees. You are right, we did grow our teams in 2021 and 2022 and during that growth period, followed growing pains that Pexip had to navigate and manage. We hear the feedback and communication is one of our strategic goals for 2023. Appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.
