Pros

No pros, can't think of anything, nothing!

Cons

Definition of toxic work culture. MICROMANAGEMENT is rampant throughout the company in many teams and is a huge reason why many people leave this company. Thee managers/higher management will never acknowledge this openly when they know it is currently one of their biggest issues, and will always try to blame the team. Please avoid this firm like a plague! Work hard and get into a better firm.

Pros

Colleagues are helpful and friendly.

Cons

Demand a lot from you with little given back in return. Your performance does not scale with your compensation - politics and luck is involved. Pay is lower than competitors even in the same city. Traders get the majority of the pot and CTO is a former trader with zero experience in software and zero leadership qualities. The level of micro management has been increasing in recent years, with more and more layers being added between developers and the management board. A depressing environment at the moment with management mentioning cost cutting every meeting and rumours of layoffs making rounds. There is already a shortage of developers so expect workload to increase even further and work-life-balance to take a further hit.

Horrible leadership

Pros

I gain some knowledge in my field.

Cons

The only word to describe this company's leadership is "terrible." The managers here have no capability nor heart to lead the employees. They are disrespectful and look down on employees. They are also condescending and insult employees often. I can attribute my negative experience here to the managers.
