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 greenfield 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 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.

Pros

The ability to work from home. Some of the co-workers are cool.

Cons

Many of the managers are unqualified to do their job. They are promoted based on time at the company, not ability. There's no point in reporting bad managers because they will figure out how to turn it back on you. Walk right past them to a better company
