Pros

Exceptional team culture with genuinely passionate and knowledgeable colleagues who make the day-to-day enjoyable Competitive, above-market salary that reflects the seniority and impact of the role

Cons

The Hungarian entity is newly established, so employee benefits are still lacking compared to more mature offices — hopefully this improves as the local presence grows The hiring process was frustratingly slow and disorganized, with decisions routed through multiple countries (Australia → Cyprus → London) before finally reaching the candidate, causing unnecessary delays and uncertainty

Pros

The coffee machine was great… when it was working.

Cons

The work environment can become extremely stressful due to a lack of support poor communication and unrealistic expectations. Employees are regularly asked to do more without corresponding recognition or compensation. The culture is affected by negativity and gossip which makes it difficult to maintain a healthy and productive workplace. Certain behaviours and internal dynamics negatively impacted the overall team atmosphere.
