Pros

- Adheres to Polish labor law well - Equity as part of compensation package (super rare in the area)

Cons

- Equity as part of compensation package: nobody says how much it actually is, it's a carrot on a stick you're supposed to chase for four years while not even knowing how big it is. Many people, including management, vaguely hint that the payoff might be large, but nobody will tell you how much they got in the past liquidity events. - Competitive landscape based on LoC counts (at least in some teams) - Career advancement system promotes undermining one's co-workers and fosters a toxic work environment

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
