Pros

It gives possibility to travel abroad for numerous of trainings, and also travel within Poland. Company do care about how you travel or where you stay or how much you can spent durring the businness trip. Also company is paying a lot of attention that you do a networking arround the globe which is really great. Nice office.

Cons

All of my opinios are to do with WARSAW Office - Poor salary compared to competitors (much below Warsaw average) - Very little choice of benefits in comparison to other big companies - Every year before Christmas some people are getting fired (especially in 2017!) without any serious reson. They have been picked by Management because they just simply did not like them. The process of fireing people is just humiliating and takes unsuspecting employees by surprise. - Working enviroment is just destructive and getting worse, due to Management. Employees are just often affraid and SCARRED of it, no one even dares to give a motivational feedback either to Management ( which is STRONGLY required from all employees) just because people are afraid that they will be fired afterwards. - Management requires that we give each other feedback, but Management will regard it as a personal attack if the feedback is given to them - Seniors' management style is immature! They have no idea how to manage people. There is no way to have your own opinion as Seniors want to hear only what they think (or their managers told them to think), and if you differ with your opinion they will tell you that you do not follow the companies' values. Naturally it will most likely affect your quarterly review, which has impact on your Bonus. In result if you want to have bonus you HAVE to flatter them - Management is two-faced especially seniors who tell you one thing and then something totally different to Area Manager just to cover for themselves - No prospect of advancement or promotion within the Polish office, from time to time there are some senior positions opened but you get very little pay increase for any of those promotions

Pros

Great environment, friendly colleagues from all over the world, cool products to work on, high level of autonomy. Compensation and benefits are good enough too

Cons

Fast paced environment is not for everyone, but once you get used to it, it’s hardly noticeable. Sometimes the changes can be communicated better
