Great Company Overall - Software Engineer In The Pocket Employee Review

* A good place for fresh graduates to gain initial experience and build their resumes. * Opportunities to take on responsibilities early in your career. * Some talented and passionate colleagues who can be inspiring to work with.

* The culture feels more like a cult than a company, catering heavily to young, single individuals. It’s not inclusive or supportive of diverse lifestyles or priorities. * Loyalty is not rewarded. Pay raises are minimal, and being content in your role is frowned upon. Instead of supporting employees’ growth, management constantly pushes for more work and responsibilities. * If you resist this pressure or set boundaries, you’re at risk of being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) or terminated. * Middle management lacks experience and professionalism. Many have never worked elsewhere and are suddenly given responsibilities outside their expertise. This leads to decisions being made in an insular bubble with little understanding of broader industry practices. * Work pressure is consistently high, with little regard for employee well-being or work-life balance.

As a company they have very interesting projects and they take them seriously. They are very agile not only during development, but starting from the initial pre sales meetings. Also, they treat contractors almost as employees: they have most of the perks, they get invited (with their +1) to the office parties, they get invited to the yearly company trip. Atmosphere is great!

Nothing that I can think of that exceed normal ups and downs of any software project.
