Business Outlook

Pros

Stable, well-funded product roadmap and global brand reputation. Extremely international teams—great cultural learning opportunity. Plenty of internal training budgets for new frameworks. Generous parental leave and solid healthcare coverage. Collegial atmosphere; senior engineers are approachable and helpful.

Cons

Release cycles can feel slow due to legacy processes. Decision-making is highly centralized, limiting individual autonomy. Outdated tooling in parts of the monolithic codebase hampers velocity. Salary growth lags behind fast-moving startups in the region. Frequent reorganizations create uncertainty about long-term ownership.

Lack of common sense

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, no rush or crunch

Cons

Lack of common sense, like documenting how the code works or creating a good onboarding material or creating a usable test environment or not to push failing tests onto master. For the past months we made countless assumptions on how other microservices work, because there were no documentation, knowledge only travels by word of mouth. And we have to work from the office 3 days/week.
