Business Outlook

Pros

Very supportive management, both in terms of personal growth and work-life balance. Lots of room to adapt the project pipeline to one's interests. Flexible working hours - hybrid model in theory, in practice some colleagues work almost fully remote, can adjust schedule. Great office in the city center. Good pay compared to local peers.

Cons

Some of the homegrown tooling is overly restrictive. Outdated or non-existent documentation for some processes and data sources. Time difference between US and Europe sometimes gets in the way.
