Pros

Great atmosphere There is a lot to be learnt for people with no experience / interns Benefits Tax break (the right to use author way of tax reporting)

Cons

Salaries are lower than offered by other companies in Kraków Limited possibilities of competency development, no approvals for attending technical conferences There is no new things to learn except company specific stuff after working 2/3 years in projects Very poor work culture - the most important for management is to keep project deadlines which are set unrealistically (overtime / weekend work is present in almost every project, from time to time it's even obligatory), almost all projects are delayed and exit criteria are descoped to meet project KPIs / milestones Huge attrition of experienced engineers which are being replaced by working students. Low number of engineers with > 5 years of experience Complicated organizational structure (line managers, project managers, product managers, program owner managers, product owners etc) Severe structural changes ( should be called as revolutions) performed 2/3 times in a year

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
