Pros
- good salary - good benefits (private health care, life insurance, sport card, access to free psychological service, full remote option) - coverage of certificates - various projects - you can learn many technologies in short time - you can change the project if you are really unsatisfied with current
Cons
- too much bureaucracy to get promoted (for some positions crazy requirements impossible to be met due to differences between everyday tasks vs job profile) - many low skilled managers, developers must cover skills which managers lack, some managers take money and do nothing (are never available or don't attend calls) - lack of employees integration activities and lack of local budget for it (one Company Day per year is not enough) - there are people dedicated to help you in career path but in reality they have no power - sometimes you are put in a projects which totally don't suit your skills but there are no other candidates who would fit more or they are not available - there are projects where managers do micromanagement, push harder than client without any reasonable cause - big difference in eastern and western attitude to work which is unfortunately noticeable. Some colleagues from eastern part of Europe tend to follow old management methods and developers tend to be quite shortsighted and believe that more code is better. Many are focused on delivering small things instead of seeing big picture and future management of the project.
