Pros

- Token allocation per employee, dependent on your position and time you've been in the company. - Plenty of Events and you really need them for alcohol you need with the cons of this company. - Once or twice a year bonus for everyone of 1,500 Euro per employee (I am not sure regards contractors) - Colleagues are fun, and easy to drink with them - Broken equipment they will repair it and replace you with temporary one until it is fixed, the cost it is on them. - Clean offices - Location of the company it is good, as you've many places where you can get lunch, drinks after work. Although there is a lot more companies in the area that willing to provide you better.

Cons

- Overall, this company is not a good place to work at due to the numerous issues and lack of support from management. It is not a positive or productive work environment. - Unreasonable expectations and workloads. - Inadequate compensation and benefits compared to industry standards. - Limited opportunities for career advancement. - Poor work-life balance. - Inadequate training and resources provided. - Unfair treatment of certain employees. - Lack of communication, accountability and transparency from management. - Lack of clear communication and direction from management. - Poor management and lack of support from upper management. - Hostile or toxic work environment. - Negative company culture, where employees do not feel valued or respected. - Constant excuses for not meeting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) without any constructive feedback or solutions offered. - Incompetent technical team, resulting in frequent technical issues and delays, with a codebase that is a huge mess. - Constant negativity, lack of communication and poor teamwork among employees. - Micro-management by managers who lack the necessary skills and experience. - Highly qualified employees are being demotivated, while juniors are promoted to positions of authority because it is cheaper. - No respect towards your skills and knowledge, and by the time you leave, you will end up 3 steps backwards on your knowledge. - No focus on architecture, design principles, or best practices in the tech team. - One mistake on a task can be held against you for years in performance reviews. - Unofficial promotions, that leads to nowhere, other than extra work. - Constant micromanagement with progress of tasks checked every few minutes/hours. - For engineers, there is no tests or anyone consider them. If a test fail, disable, push and move on, then they wonder why they have a critical bug for. - Multiple distribution of teams, each one breaks each other features, leads to confusion, mess. - Lack of appreciation for stabilizing the codebase, with management taking credit for your hard work. - Long-term exhaustion and burnout, leading to the need for a long-term vacation and potentially psychiatric help to recover. - Working with this company can make it difficult to work with anyone else after leaving. - Remote work in other country during your travel, needs to be approved, good luck with that. - If a manager disrespect you and you speak with the management about it, you will end up in trouble later, perhaps they will consider of lay you off. - We were forced to be at work on Saturdays due to how bad management of the company is - Token allocation you will only get after 6 months, while possibly you will get peanuts. - If you gonna go for allocation, than find another job that gives much better equity, that you've agreed on from the start not while in the company and after 6 months you get surprised.
