Good flexibility and team, but poor job security during restructuring

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Full flexibility with remote work (not in all countries), great work-life balance, and occasional opportunities to travel to interesting places for project-related needs (around 0-4 times a year). Supportive and professional colleagues.

Cons

Many projects rely on really old and outdated technologies. Salaries are not competitive compared to the current market. Management handles restructuring and financial instability poorly—instead of finding new projects or retraining people, layoffs are used as a quick fix.
