Pros

Cons

- Management keeps changing every half a year! Thus, no vision. - No career progress, unless you are well integrated with management. - Salaries are really underpaid, compared to other competitors! - HR is 100% passive - Your day as a developer has less than 50% development related tasks - No education budget - Raise cycle highly depends on you you political skills, rather than technical. - It is not a software company, it’s a product company! - Management old way of thinking! - Personally, I don’t like open office areas to work at, too loud!
