Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunity to learn from incredibly smart people, many opportunities to continue education, great for independent workers, not so for entry

Upper management forgets that first line managers need training. You need a thick skin to survive them

Good salary and tech experimentation, but chaotic management decisions

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary for Romania, pretty chill company. You get to experiment with new technologies and can pretty easily switch between teams and projects in order to tackle and learn new things.

Cons

Most decisions taken by management seem chaotic and reactionary to the market. Advancing and getting promoted is harder than leaving and coming back to a higher position
