Pros

- steady job - a lot of things to do - but not especially challenging if you end up in a wrong project - money is always on time

Cons

Kraków location is a low cost center with all its disadvantages: - a lot of people are leaving the company because of: - low salaries (comparing to the market in Kraków) - student driven development (because of the reasons mentioned above) - managers who do not fit their roles - used up office space - second building across town (!) only because it is the cheapest offering possible - new chairs (Wrocław center was disposing their old ones so we got them )

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.
