As a developer/gamer I use all these systems and with every year I'm less and less motivated to use macOS. Linux is clear winner for everything I need server related and Windows is fine for everything client related. macOS is in this weird spot where it lacks most of the server side stuff (lack of hosting, poor virtualization support etc.), but it also lacks some of the client side things (poor gaming, no hardware customization etc.).

Their presence in Czechia is really small, it's not a Czech company in normal sense. My guess it's just a way how to get better access to western markets.

The business risk is that they might not be able to transfer money to Russia (where they probably have most employees) and western companies might not be comfortable using what is basically just Russian software with "Czech" sticker on it.

Maybe not Russia, but sanctions can hit them pretty hard. They might not be able to transfer money to Russian and western companies might not be comfortable using what is basically just Russian software with "Czech" sticker on it.

They are Czech company only on paper (probably for better access to western markets). They don't have any sort of real presence in Czech Republic, just offices for their global teams. Their products don't have Czech versions. Not even their website is available in Czech language. Highly unusual for a technical company. Even big global companies offer at least something in our local language.

The recruiter might not be from the same company and creating/sharing these kind of databases with everyone and their mother seems like a hell from the data protection/privacy standpoint.

Feels like an edge case that it's not worth fixing. How often is this going to happen? Do you really want to collect tons of personal data from your candidates before they even show to an interview? Is it worth it to keep personal data of your ex-employees just because of this and is it even legal? (might not be in EU)

> Unlimited PTO has never meant taking months off at a time.

Isn't that exactly what it's supposed to be? To give people an ability to work whenever they feel like working. It's not like the company just wanted to give people few more days of vacation like everyone else. They wanted to "stand out" with unlimited amount.

Not to mention that 2 months vacation is something that can easily happen even under normal circumstances (at least in Europe). If someone gave me "unlimited" amount of vacation I would certainly use more than that.
