No job guarantee. No severance package. No respect to employees. They sell you the post by saying that you will be appointed on projects where your expertise can be used. But then, when the time comes they put you anywhere you want. And then even if you do good on those projects, you will not be paid bonus because they will make sure to lay you off before bonus season. They are laying off people by forcing them to resign. The HR calls, and forces you to send resignation before the call ends - otherwise they will terminate your employment and not give you a relieving letter. The leadership has no idea about the company's direction. You are hired for region X, but when region doesn't have work - they ask you to plead other regions if they have any work. They wont even bother informing other region POCs about you. So when you call them out of blue, they are as clueless as you. They will make you go through countless interviews in sister companies to "retain you". But even if you clear the rounds, and the hiring team wants you - they will lay you off because the "CEO did not respond to approval emails". They will lie their hearts out by promising you stuff that they can never deliver. I made the mistake of not paying too much heed to the negative Glassdoor reviews - I hope no one else makes the same mistake. This is my first ever review, hope someone reads it and find it useful.

They will hire you saying this is a top 3% company. I’m telling you, it’s not even top 50%! Projects are interwatig but the way of working is extremely bad. You work on VDIs usually with non-existing ci/cd. They recruitwd a lot of low/mid level engineers to the hungarian team - all smart ppl are leaving. They struggle to keep people as most of them want to leave as soon as they see how bad the whole thing looks. You will only get a pay raise if you ask for it million of times, even when the inflation is 15-20% they will give (a 3% raise) to the selected few. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
