Pros
Possibility to work in other countries.
Cons
This feedback will be useful for people which want to come to work from outside Latvia and for what you should be prepared. It is not an IT company which develops products, the business of the company is to sell people on the projects and everything goes around this. As much people they can sell to clients as much they have income. If you are older than 25-27 years and you have been working in product companies, which cared about products they do, for you it will be a nightmare. There is a lot of non-experienced employees after universities which should be sold, as they need to pay them salary. People are sold to projects not according to their competence and experience, indeed, just to be sold. People are pushed to study irrelevant outdated courses instead of growing in technical areas. Motivation system is made such way that managers get their promotions depending on how many people they can sell. So they don’t care about quality they deliver. That is why people work under high stress because they don’t have good technical specialists and architects. There is a constant attrition in the company. If you are technical specialist and you want to develop yourself in this area then this company will be a waste of time and you will start to lose your competence and become more and more mail-manager as it is required by their motivation system. Salaries are below market. There are 3-4 IT companies in Latvia, and you almost don’t have any choice, and you will be locked in this company. The company uses this market situation and managers treat employees as slaves. Be also prepared to be departed from the country as it was already because of non-professionalism of HR which don’t know Latvians laws. They are also not capable to give you information how to get working visa if you are assigned to a project in another country and you will need to do everything by yourself. Also be prepared to get your last salary after your last working day in 3 weeks and you will need to write them letters to get your money. They breach the Latvian labor law delaying your salary. After resignation, they will send you letters with threats that they have discovered that you entice employees to other companies.
