Not healthy environment for good money

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well, the salary is above average, and the benefits are nice. You are judged by your professional skills and ability to sell yourself, zero discrimination takes place.

Cons

Competitive non-healthy environment, where you have to cannibalize your teammates for the management to see you, personal achievements by themselves mean nothing. Too much processes and unnecessary stress. Forcing people to go to the office during the first lock down, not even allowing vacation during the shift in the office.
