Big company culture

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work various technologies including cloud. Clear vision and good business model. Friendly company culture, skilled management in Brno. They offer interesting job and prefer fitting the team instead of top-skilled cowboys. Many Global Wellness days, one month Sabbatical Leave after 5 years in the company. The life in SWI is well balanced, no need to work over time.

Cons

Lack of communication between engineering and business, but if you're going to join as an Engineer, you don't need to take care, because it's job for managers and product owners. It has nature of corporate company, for example people in other departments need to fulfill their quarterly tasks so they forces change even if it isn't right time. Leaderships plans towards company's vision are not always realistic, because top executives don't always listen to engineers at the very bottom of hierarchy. Engineering isn't key in the company, but it's one of several departments.
