The yelling CTO and the Glassdor reviews are certainly a red flag for potential employees.
But the company itself is interesting.
They built an add-on for PowerPoint for which they charge more than MS charges for the entire Office Suite (my company pays around €130 per year and user).
With a million users served by approximately 20 devs they are very profitable, which they highlight in their job ads.
As a small company with a relatively boring product, they need to do something to attract new people. And they can afford to approach every c++ programmer individually, support community efforts (standards committee) and sending people to Aspen for a conference. They might be a little clumsy so their recruiting comes across as spam.
As for latest c++ features not being appropriate: as a user, I don’t care as long as the product works as intended, which it has been doing for me since over 10 years now.
