Pros

Nice Office Good amenities Smart people - the techies. Others... are not really. Pretty good compensation, regardless of what many people in the company seem to think Interesting projects - as far as new ones are won

Cons

Current projects are running out and there are no new ones because of a huge reputation loss with the current projects, due to severe management failure. Way too many internal reorganizations and sub-unit changes, it is not 'adaptive behavior' but chaos. There are huge differences between positions with regards to the knowledge required. Developers are strongly assessed and filtered in the interviews, but many testers don't even have basic computer knowledge and background. Mid-level managers are often completely incompetent. Working conditions are getting stricter and more controlled by the day, undermining employee trust.

Pros

Working for NNG was awesome. WAS. Nowadays it's not that good. There still are a few perks, though: - free mineral water - sorta-flexible time - free coffee (not too good)

Cons

The main problem of the company is that the code is a mismashed Frankeinstein's monster from hell, which was made with the "Deadline-driven development" process - and no major refactor has happened for years. This is slowing down development, and makes keeping on track a difficult feat. Upper management tried to tackle this (insert laughter here). Firstly, a Check-In/Check-Out logging system was installed along with a new policy making it semi-impossible to get a Home Office opportunity. Pay raises were postponed. Then a ton of juniors and managers were hired. This was a bit bad for morale. Talented people, who actually wanted to make a difference, started leaving. Workload started to increase. The number of management interns multiplied. NNG is still not a bad employer (in Hungary's standards, that is), but we're on a downwards spiral, pushing the pedal to the metal. A few other points: - strictly non-vaper friendly environment - flexibility is just a catch word, my friend! Flexible work time means that you arrive in the office in the morning and it's flexible if you arrive at home on the same day - the office is on a friggin' hilltop - the code is full of vulgar language in Hungarian

Pros

The office is very nice, smart colleagues, Free coffee and tea, Game room...

Cons

Heavy politics in the upper management, continuously changing plans on how to change working methods. Changes are not well thought out, "let's start, it will form itself" - when changes effect 400 employees. Low salary, and law salary review or update.
