Pros
Enjoy access to a canteen serving freshly prepared meals daily, adding convenience and variety to your workday. A dedicated coffee shop is available on-site, providing a nice spot for a quick break or informal meetings. Compensation is competitive and generally above industry average for similar roles. Staff are sometimes welcomed with complimentary snacks and treats, adding a thoughtful touch to the work environment.
Cons
The work environment is, to put it bluntly, toxic. Senior management uses favoritism and preferential treatment when filling management positions. Senior management relies on pressure, threats and fear-based tactics to drive performance. Development timelines are frequently unrealistic, with new projects introduced just weeks before go-live dates. Management has expressed expectations that staff should work excessive hours to meet deadlines, and I quote: "At least you have 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to finish this". Employees are often treated as easily replaceable, which impacts morale and job security. Performance reviews are sometimes used as a tool to push staff out rather than support development. Line managers are expected to be constantly available, leading to poor work-life balance. There is a tendency to replace experienced developers with interns as a cost-cutting measure. Long-serving employees (some with 20+ years of tenure) have been let go or encouraged to resign. Deadlines are imposed by upper management without adequate consideration of team capacity or available resources.
