Pros

Supportive co-workers and former employees

Cons

A toxic work environment with no real opportunities for career advancement. Employees are pigeonholed, and management shows little concern for individual contributions or performance. Even strong performance reviews and going above and beyond offer no job security if you’re considered too expensive, layoffs happen regardless. I strongly recommend avoiding this company unless there are no other options.

Pros

Inputting just for Glassdoor requirement.

Cons

Worked in Polish IT department of the company. It’s a pathetic and dishonorable work environment for any engineer. The work environment and colleagues are highly immature and disregard basic social norms, laws frequently. Similar negative opinions can be stated about the local upper management and main upper management in USA. When joining the company most of the previous employees of the IT department left and based on the responses of the few employees that did stay it’s due to the Polish office creating a new line of products for the company’s BI initiatives that were falsely accredited to the USA office due to internal corruption. The work environment is highly toxic and the company hires pretty much anyone who is willing to join with little to no qualification. This creates the standard weak environment of the industry were many people who are highly unqualified to perform roles in any engineering field create immense amounts of low quality code that is difficult to maintain and employees that struggle to understand, learn coding basics create a culture that values low quality solutions that require as little engineering, coding knowledge or skill as possible with employees being incapable of grasping more complex subjects. The few qualified employees that the company is capable of acquiring are either mediocre or highly uncultured, toxic and incapable of cooperating properly in a civilized environment. Beyond the actual craft the environment itself is very “trashy”. Employees behave like children and lack basic maturity, decency to operate in any respectable work environment. Complaints to HR are either unresolved or the department falsely claims that they haven’t identified any issues after performing internal investigations. After quitting this pathetic cesspit of unqualified criminal scum I had to deal with defamation in future employment opportunities frequently. This organization is a disgrace to the Polish society and is little more than a soft colony of an USA company. I strongly discourage any respectable engineer to join this kindergarten of criminals. If you do have the misfortune of joining this criminal establishment I advise to seek good legal counsel and track every interaction as much as you can. Hopefully this organization doesn’t stay afloat for too long and humanity’s resources can be spent on meaningful and honorable pursuits and not this disgraceful and corrupt company.
