Pros

If you're Ukrainian it's awesome otherwise it sucks

Cons

It sucks. Pointless meetings. Very poor leadership with no real industry experience. Lots of travel for 1-hour meetings. Bad projects. Beaurocratic. Toxic environment. Really bad sales leadership and even worse salespeople. Lots of people in leadership/VP positions that do absolutely nothing. I could go on but you get the point

Pros

SoftServe is a company that has grown 40% yoy for many years, there are a lot of hardworking great people you will meet there.

Cons

SoftServe tries to pride itself about carrying for their employees, but unfortunately they could care less . If you want to work for an abusive leader, who diminishes his leadership team and the whole department, this is the place to go. The CMO promotes those who obey him and accept being disrespected and tries to push out the high achievers. If you're cute and flirt with him you might get lucky and get promoted and get a raise. There are more HR reports on the CMO than one could keep count of, and unfortunately SoftServe seems to have no interest in saving anyone.

Pros

The people are wonderful. Many amazing people doing awesome work. I have found some incredibly wonderful individuals that work there and will cherish the many years I was a part of their teams.

Cons

Territorial and vindictive. Watch out for the toes you unknowingly step on, especially if they have been there for 10 or more years. Your new role may be stepping into a closely held space by them and they may not like you being there. They will push you out. Some of the teams say they want leaders but really want a more autocratic style rather than servant leadership. Be prepared to be the "throat to choke" no matter if if did all you could.

Thank you for sharing your experience, we appreciate your transparency. The leadership team is aware of these concerns and is proactively working to address any behaviors or attitudes that are not in line with our values. Our CEO has been clear that anything that is good for SoftServe is good for all who work here, and there should be no cases of territorialism. If you have specific issues you need help with, please contact Human Resources North America for guidance.
