Great Work-Life Balance, but Compensation Lags Behind Inflation

Product owner

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible and family friendly place to work. The company emphasizes work-life balance and very committed to provide a healthy environment. Yearly minimum pay-raises are guaranteed at 3% on average by the Collective Agreement with the Trade Union. You can get a partial exception from office presence based on the individual circumstances. Pretty good cafeteria amount.

Cons

The pay is not the best, as compa-ratios are admittedly aimed to be at 80% of the market median/average salary for your individual experience and position, however often kept below that committed level. The yearly pay did not keep up with the inflation in Hungary. Office presence requirements are getting stricter with 3 days a week. Cafeteria options are getting less year-by-year, the amount is not increasing with inflation either.
