Pros

Good for juniors/interns New technologies Nice colleagues

Cons

Management in Varna is terrible. The director of Varna office is an incompetent for the role he is given. He hires juniors and mid engineers that he has power to control. Seniors cant be succesfull unless they are close to him. The overall attitude from senior engineers is bad because there is no one to teach them on a proper attitude. The company is mainly based on contractors that hold the knowledge which make them arrogant and hard to replace. Many Senior engineers leave the company after an year just because they cant grow in the career ladder unless they are very close to the director. As a manager I worked with many teams across the globe and there the situation is better.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
