Pros

I love working with the people here. If you have a great manager and team, you're open to the wild ride. The perks can vary from year to year. Some include great holiday parties and onsite gym with free classes at HQ. The vacation time is also very generous.

Cons

The top level of leadership can make things a bit challenging. You have to be willing to change directions constantly.

Pros

Salary is competitive, gym is nice

Cons

Do yourself a favor and rent 'Snowpiercer' before working here, it's a lot like that. Management is sitting up in a ivory tower on the 14th floor. Regular employees do not have access and are crammed on top of each other everywhere else in the building while professional chefs serve the executives lunch in their spacious offices. Does this sound like modern technology company? Meanwhile the CEO is micromanaging design decisions that are well beyond his grasp. Go ahead, download Usher, see if it makes any sense to you. No? Well thank Michael Saylor for that, he designed it. Do you really want to work at a place where you will have 0 impact on the design because ultimately the CEO is driving everything? Speaking of which, he's been in a 10 year coma partying and touring the world on his yachts, has now arisen from his slumber and decided that his ailing company badly needs his attention. Board members have repeatedly called for his resignation. In an effort to appease them, he's aggressively firing anyone who looks him in the eye the wrong way. I would not assume that your position is going to last for any period of time if you take a job here

Pros

Great people and international atmosphere. Can be challenging work. Good healthcare and benefits. Quite good bonuses (and diets) if you travel on site to clients (best case scenario you can even get quadruple salary each quarter). Lots of internal trainings and initiatives.

Cons

Low base salary compared to other IT companies in Poland. Lack of clear objectives to get promoted or otherwise progress your carrier. You need to know what is your plan for yourself, otherwise it might be frustrating. Getting promoted is a mix of hard work and some decent luck. Even then , there are periods when promotions are frozen and it does not matter at all. Except that you got better and got more skills. It is offshore and Warsaw Office is under US central, which decisions often make no sense. US management has been a big show stopper for a long time, the winds of change are happening right now and the felling is mixed.
