Pros

I can learn from and work wth a lot of talented engineers, who are eager to solve problems and make things better. We are building products for the top companies, using sometimes legacy code, but heading to cloud, which is great. We are empowered to use AI, and build AI supported products. The wage is decent, but obviously could be better. Perks are amazing, the office location is great, kitchen supplemented with beverages, regular team building events with food and drink. The community is proactive. And I think the career opportunities are also great. Still have home office opportunity, and can work flexible hours. I really love to work here, so far the best place ever.

Cons

Sometimes the workload is pressuring, and everything is important and urgent, so that could be frustrating.

Decent Workplace with a Great Office, but Career Growth is Limited

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The office is modern and well-located in the city center, providing a great environment to work in. The company organizes good events, fostering a sense of community among employees. If you're lucky, you may get the opportunity to work on a project using the latest technologies. Many talented and friendly colleagues create a positive atmosphere in the workplace.

Cons

If you’re unlucky, you may end up working on legacy technologies, which can be a career setback. Salary progression is slow—raises are capped at 3-5% annually, and even promotions only bring a minor salary increase. The company pays 20-30% less than the industry average (especially under senior level), so if you join with a low offer, it’s hard to catch up. Getting promoted is difficult, as performance alone isn’t enough—you need to be liked by management. Software developers don’t get company-wide recognition, making it feel like their contributions go unnoticed.
