Business Outlook

Pros

Good for not-graduated students and those who are just starting their career in software engineering. Good nice-looking office. Compensation is valid for students only.

Cons

There's absolutely no opportunity for growth for the software engineer. Most of the projects are either porting of some platform to the other hardware (writing abstraction layer), or bugfixing. Exceptionally strict working hours policy: one should come to the office not later than 9:30 and leave not earlier than 16:30. Only old technologies are used: mostly ANSI C. Noone there is really _senior_.
