It’s okay

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance, decent company culture (although it seems to be dying) some cool projects

Cons

Hiring outside the US a lot. The company feels like leadership has difficulty make hard decisions. Too politically correct (at least puts on the facade that it is). Getting promoted also seems difficult. Lower pay than some comparable companies.

Ok for juniors, stay away if you want to grow

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It’s a premium contract company - you get the employment benefits, rsu and the office. You can do nothing and get paid.

Cons

During the existence of the Warsaw office nothing has changed in terms of ownership and cooperation with the US. Anything is driven there, we are just executing someone’s plan. There’s no real way to grow outside of your role because of that. Any process is US centric, not to mention rigid and overblown processes for architecture and software development. Also nothing has changed in developer experience - tooling is non existent, constantly migrated platforms are not developed. Product management is tragic, PMs would be interns somewhere else.
