Pros

Yearly bonus is nice, company grows at incredible pace and if you get shares, they can double their value.

Cons

Company treats it’s employees like a livestock. If you enjoy feeling like you’re a number in the system, you’ll get a lot of it here. Management will sooth you with good looking numbers, but will cancel or sell the whole project before you actually get anything. You won’t get salary raise in a years so they save a bit of money and have better yearly reports.

Pros

- Nice office in my building

Cons

A colleague new hired together with me has left after one month. My manager immediately comes to me asking if I were going to leave, for no reason. After one month he comes back to fire me. I was still on probation, moved to Prague for this job. Had to start jobhunting in a new city for me, new country, with no professional experience to put on plate during interview, it was my first job. He has never even tried to onboard me.
