Pros

Great people, supportive teams, and plenty of socials that help build a strong community.

Cons

Big traditional company where engineers can feel like just another number, and ambitious people may not always get the fast environment they need

Pros

The company name looks decent on a CV for a short period. Good for people who want to stay idle, but a graveyard for ambitious engineers.

Cons

False Promises: Management hires senior specialists (leads) with promises of high-scale projects, only to park them on a "bench" for months. They treat experts as insurance policies, not as professionals. Toxic Cost-Cutting: When their business forecasts fail, they don't take responsibility. Instead, they pressure employees, reduce benefits, and create a hostile environment to force resignations. Unprofessional Exit: They terminate contracts instantly during probation to avoid paying the final notice weeks. Zero ethics, zero respect for people’s financial stability or relocation efforts. Mismanagement: Local SBU leadership is disconnected from the global corporate values, focusing only on short-term numbers rather than retaining talent.
