      Great place to start

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has a lot of different projects and uses a wide range of technologies (although it's starting to move to a Java only mentality) The management is pretty un-intrusive Lots of friendly people Possibility to learn a lot and very fast I got the chance to learn Scala and enjoy the hell out of it

      Cons

      Management is pretty useless and has almost no technical knowledge There are no technical training incentives (courses, books or anything) There is a lot of people working in product, who have little technical knowledge and it is difficult to communicate There is not a lot of room for innovation The facilites are starting to fall apart.

      Nice place to learn

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      All teams have full autonomy and manage every step of the application. People are generally cool. Really good for a first job, to learn the basics. There are cool problems to solve.

      Cons

      Bad working conditions, too much noise, people whistle, bad chairs, small desks, mediocre computers. Average level of people (knowledge, work quality). The company vision and achievements are not clear and are not shared.
