Pros

Very smart people with great knowledge that they keep up-to-date International teams allowing to mix ideas + other benefits coming from this Enjoyable work that requires both good knowledge of business as well as good communication skills People around are friendly and willing to share know how. Even though this holds at least for most of Prague offices, there are exceptions to this Reasonable work-life balance Good salary and no useless employee benefits

Cons

High level of bureaucracy in hiring and in day-to-day life A bunch of legacy stuff that could be easily and cheaply replaced Some people are extremely arrogant and selfish. If you cannot avoid them, they can make your life hell

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
