Business Outlook

Pros

Great experience, a lot of traveling, diverse culture, huge room for growth, fair and competitive salaries, nice benefits, hybrid work, isolated team work, and much more!

Cons

I would say the office needs a lot of improvements, adjustable desks, more meeting rooms, compared to the other locations with engineering offices the Budapest office needs more work. Also the work load is bigger than usual, so higher stress level
