Pros

One or two friendly people -literally

Cons

I was often required to work 10 to 12-hour days, and when I raised concerns about the hours, my manager seemed annoyed and dismissed my feedback. The management in the company is toxic, with supervisors frequently belittling employees, which does nothing for confidence ! Additionally, the managers show little concern for wellbeing or professional development , and instead, unless you regularly voice how great you're performing, you're seen as an underperformer!

Career stagnation and geographic bias after development center relocation

Staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits including access to courses and workshops. Offices are in central, convenient locations.

Cons

After the development center moved from London to Budapest 4 years ago, I've experienced significant career stagnation despite 11 years with the company. Budapest-based colleagues with less experience have received multiple promotions while I remained in the same role for 4 years. Interesting projects are consistently reassigned from me to Budapest teams after initial proof-of-concept work, often leading to project failures due to inexperienced teams handling complex work. There's clear favoritism toward the Budapest office, creating a closed circle that tend to exclude remote workers. Management seems to prioritize geographic location over experience and capability.
