Pros

Management generally leaves you alone if you're doing your job Decnt compensation by Polish market standards Good work-life balance if you know how to manage your time

Cons

Promotions often seem tied more to visibility with senior leadership than to actual impact - especially if you do something for the CEO directly Mediocre engineers at higher positions Talented employees are not consistently recognized Difficult to get actionable feedback from managers or peers AI initiatives are pushed aggressively, even in situations where they do not add any value Stock refreshers are very poor

Pros

- Everyone's super nice and reallly helpful. - You're empowered to change/fix anything you want. If there's a repo you can put in a PR. - RWC in office days means you don't have Video call fatigue for coffee chats. You can take, some of your 1on1s, just as a nice walk. - Core working hours but otherwise people aren't forcing you to work. Get your sh!t done and work your own schedule.

Cons

Lunch is restruant food with stipend, would love to have in office food. #spoiled
