Pros

- Private health insurance - Some side benefits(mobile phone purchase, training budget etc.) (While considering these don't forget salaries are low) - Good laptops - It might look good on resume - You might improve your English speaking if you're willing to

Cons

- First of all, if you are a competent software developer and you want to develop yourself in terms of software development, run away! - Don't expect challenging/good software projects, you will be end up with customization or integration projects, if you are lucky enough you may develop some automation projects(least-worst). - If you join old customization projects, you will use old tech stack that nobody uses anymore. - Bad codebase, a lot of if-else branching/null checking in codebase. And don't forget you will also add if-else branches, generally this is the job you're going to do mostly. - Old-school software development style. - Bad intro/training, even if you join old and complex projects don't expect any training etc. for domain knowledge. - Even if you are a developer, you will also do operational things like installing software etc. even though it is not your responsibility. - Getting promoted is hard.(not because of the assessment exam, even if you pass the exam there should be job openings etc.) - Because of the above reasons, don't expect competitive salary etc. here, you will be underpaid! Because they can easily substitute you with someone else(anyone who knows writing a method and if-else). - If you like to be in comfort zone, come here and enjoy your regular salary, you will be happy indeed.

Pros

Great collaborative environment with competent, friendly people. Helpful community of IT people working to make a better product. Good company culture, no or minimal workplace politics, good work / life balance.

Cons

I started working at the company, when the lockdown started, since then I only saw benefits being taken away, with no alternative being presented. - Travel budget is non-existent now, before the pandemic it was common for employees to visit headquarters or attend conferences every other year. - Utility bills (internet, electricity) are not supported by the company. - Cafeteria allowance for fresh fruits was taken away. - In Hungary the company does not give allowance for HO furniture, however gives the option to rent office equipment from the local office. - Non-existing or not well communicated employee perks. I'm very disappointed, after working from home since my first day, I missed out on opportunities I signed up for and there was little effort to introduce any alternatives.
