Pros

1. A lot of good, creative, intelligent people who love games and try to do their work best despite difficulties coming from management and overall organization chaos 2. Laid back atmosphere

Cons

1. Management knows the best and they don't listen - when I started they said they want to hear my opinions, but then they didn't want to hear even constructive criticism. 2. Very toxic people on the highest levels who have emotional problems and can't properly communicate. 3. Unrealistic KPIs that just "needs to be done" and when they are not management tend to be passive aggressive. 4. No investment in people - don't want to invest in training or courses 5. Lack of business and marketing e-commerce know how - people who manage company are sales and IT people and know very little about modern e-commerce practices. 6. Troubles in communication between teams - because everybody is focused on pleasing top management 7. No place for test and learn and failures. No proper atmosphere to come up with really different ideas (of course management can do it, but no other people)

Pros

- you can find some really nice people here - good looking office - vegan/vegetarian canteen is an ok thing - depending on the team (so if you're lucky) you can bring in own ideas and new technologies - some problems I had with the office/workplace were quickly resolved

Cons

- a typical "sausage fest", women not welcomed to work with code - company have gifts for International Men's Day, but nothing for International Women's Day - oftentimes you can overhear intolerant conversations from Polish coworkers during lunch breaks/in corridors - solid professionals hired in management positions leave very soon, unable to bring much needed change - most superiors lack required skills, as they are promoted from lower positions based on years in company - CEOs are emotion-driven and thus treated fearfully and carefully by team leaders, even during important conversations - CEOs prefer to base the decisions on their hunch rather than listen to hired experienced professionals - there are bullies in most of the teams (team leaders included) - company prefers to silence the scandals and inactively force victims to quit - some problems I had with the important parts of the project were never resolved, even after reminding about them year after year - non transparent salaries - company lies about promotions - I was given a written promise about promotion in 6 months given I reach described goals; I reached these goals but didn't receive promotion - CEO gave me an apology about promotion lie and asked not to talk bad about company when I leave - company is unwilling to benefit from various non-position-related experiences and skills of many employees
