Pros
- you can find some really nice people here - good looking office - vegan/vegetarian canteen is an ok thing - depending on the team (so if you're lucky) you can bring in own ideas and new technologies - some problems I had with the office/workplace were quickly resolved
Kontras
- a typical "sausage fest", women not welcomed to work with code - company have gifts for International Men's Day, but nothing for International Women's Day - oftentimes you can overhear intolerant conversations from Polish coworkers during lunch breaks/in corridors - solid professionals hired in management positions leave very soon, unable to bring much needed change - most superiors lack required skills, as they are promoted from lower positions based on years in company - CEOs are emotion-driven and thus treated fearfully and carefully by team leaders, even during important conversations - CEOs prefer to base the decisions on their hunch rather than listen to hired experienced professionals - there are bullies in most of the teams (team leaders included) - company prefers to silence the scandals and inactively force victims to quit - some problems I had with the important parts of the project were never resolved, even after reminding about them year after year - non transparent salaries - company lies about promotions - I was given a written promise about promotion in 6 months given I reach described goals; I reached these goals but didn't receive promotion - CEO gave me an apology about promotion lie and asked not to talk bad about company when I leave - company is unwilling to benefit from various non-position-related experiences and skills of many employees
