Pros

Easy to travel to - NOTHING ELSE

Cons

1. Toxic workplace - the whole workplace is based on this idea of „image” not even performance. A lot of gossip culture as well as high levels of disrespect from management and higherups in general. Everyone follows the lead, and it is like a herd of sheep. Management themselves seem to encourage a gossip culture which is a shame and unprofessional. 2. No clear training - training is left 99% of the time for you to do individually, and when you ask for help everyone ends up to too busy and says that that cannot dedicate a lot of time to you individually. 3. No clear targets or progression - when you are assigned roles, they can get reassigned so if you’ve worked on something for over a week and are 90% of the way there, it can get reassigned and another member of the team can take all the credit which then leads to others complaining about your performance and makes no sense at all! Also getting any sort of promotion is dependent on „business growth” rather than your personal wins, which is something that is heavily emphasised when you first join - you can get promoted in the first 6 months, and then it’s oh it’s based on business? Bunch of lies and a waste of time. 4. High turnover rate - from engineers, business managers to recruiters, there is an extremely high turnover rate across the board and that is for a reason (mostly the ones above). The way this company works at times feels almost unethical and as though they are using employees and potential candidates.

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
