Diligent reviews

• 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 small salary increase • The company pays 20-30% less than the industry average, 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.

- Oh boy, I do not even know where to begin. - To be honest, it was not that bad at the beginning. The people tried to be nice, and I always worked from home. - However, then they started changing a lot of things, firing people (ENTIRE TEAMS) for no reason - The management of the research department is just awful, and they don't even know what they want. I do believe that people are allowed to make mistakes at the workplace, but when they do, certain guidance should be provided which would help them get better. But that's now what these guys think. - However, the start of my employment was not bad. I didn't have to go to the office - they wouldn't tell you what exactly it is you are missing, they will just let you keep guessing, and put you on PIP eventually LOL - MICROMANAGEMENT - Hiring a person based in Europe to work with Americans who are 6-9 hours behind does not seem like a great idea.. - I was fired within one day after being placed on PIP for 6 months. What exactly was the point of PIP no one ever told me. - When I was fired, no one even said goodbye to me, including the line manager. - The job description was wrong, the things I did were far beyond it (but I won't go into that now) - Overall, I'd advice people to avoid working as a Research Analyst at the Budapest Office.
