Pros
* casual, friendly and multicultural environment, good collaboration and team work * using nice tools/practices: C++11 & 14, boost libraries, git/gerrit, good automatic test coverage; some teams use CI * possibility to improve, the company occasionally sponsors in-house training courses, conferences or other forms of training * company car leasing
Cons
* the company is structured similarly to an outsourcing company working for the mother company and sometimes your are treated by the colleagues from the mother company as such * not very exciting/innovative work, most of the projects are either re-implementing functionality already available on the market in previously released models or integrating products delivered by 3rd party suppliers * though the company is very international, sometimes you will struggle to find information in English on certain topics * the development process used is a modified waterfall model with a lot of planning up-front * average salary plus not many perks; usually software companies offer coffee, refreshments, team events, sports club membership, etc. There are no such perks here: you have to pay for your own coffee bill and there is only one company event per year * my personal feeling is that management does not appreciate the technical staff at all, to them we are just some numbers
