Pros
- Joyful and polite coworkers - Pays almost always on time - Salary increase of about 100 euros per year - Company shared Udemy account with around 40 courses
Cons
- Expect to maintain and support legacy applications During interviews you always get informed that new projects are always in the works or that soon existing legacy applications are going to be migrated to newer frameworks as long as you "help a little" with their maintenance at first. The migration will "start in around two months" resetting every time you seem to make that question - Expect management that has no clue or previous experience on their subject of work The company is run by people that operate by the principle "you should be happy that we are giving you work to do". Management condones and supports selling features that don't exist as long as we have an available engineer to do it later. Expect to do your own design, implementation and scavenging required to add a new feature all while your opinions are disregarded. Technical managers that are stuck to 2010s technology dismissing new practises and frameworks as gimmicks, give you no guidance but still hold you accountable if your designs differ from their original thoughts. - Expect to stay less than a year By all means you won't get fired but you will see all your coworkers leave almost after a year there. No prospect of doing anything new or original and if you hop on project or something similar, chances are it will be a legacy application from day one.
