Pros

Awesome offices and region. Pure IT player with strong investments on latest technologies. Backed up by very profitable business cases. Nice colleagues. Everyone is able to achieve its own work/private life balance.

Cons

Bureaucracy at all levels. Any local decision has to go to top level approval to get funds and thus simply doesn't happen. Agile frameworks are used to enforce this top level approach, no other tasks than the one pushed from the top are accepted. High usage of contractors working on site for 3 years with no hiring perspective are driving engagement very low.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
