Pros

fair salary decent bonus modern technology stack

Cons

Depending which team you land, it’s a total hit or miss. in my case, it was a miss. 0 onboarding proccess, 0 training. awful work life balance due to non existent project staffing. infinite tasks at the same time with non existent threshold leading to burnout. situation is not the same in all teams so my review is focused on what I faced only.
