Pros

Amazing office atmosphere and experience, it has a very young and hip vibe compared to a corporate organisation. Very interesting projects including projects with start ups NFC, hardware and even some government work.

Cons

They don't have AC yet in the Krakow office so it can get hot in the summer with all the computers.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work on some exciting, diverse projects with truly international reach whilst at BonFire IT. There's a really healthy focus on making a high quality products and on engineering solutions properly, a welcome change to some other places I've worked. As a mobile tech lead, I was given a great deal of technical freedom to solve problems as I saw fit, and despite being a distributed team, there was a real cohesive team spirit; people went above and beyond because there was a sense of wanting to deliver the best for the customer, not just do the bare minimum to get by. Developer expertise is really valued here, which I know from experience is not always the case in this industry. Healthy approach to work-life-balance too; never an issue when I said I was taking some personal time. Rigid 9-5 isn't expected, no micro-management, deliverables are all that matter. Modern thinking, asynchronous tools/comms makes for a flexible and fun environment to work within. The business grew noticeable in the time I was there, even though it was a relatively short period of time, so I've no doubt the growth will continue going forward. Solid prospects.

Cons

Really, the only downside I can think of is if you're working remote, and not in the same timezone as the majority of the team (as I was), it can be a little lonely in the middle of the work day! Hardly a criticism though, especially if you're a developer who's happy to just get on with things at their own pace without being micromanaged.
