Pros

OK pay, but it really depends on your initial offer and how visible your team is.

Cons

- Career development is minimal unless you're in a high-visibility or Poland-based team. After years in a US-based team, I had no clear growth plan. - Outdated & short-sighted tech decisions and lack of long-term technical vision. - People were brought in with questionable skill levels for higher positions, which impacted morale and fairness. - Some interns remained for years without structured paths to full-time roles. - Foreigners in Warsaw office were finding it very hard to connect and network. - Advancement is driven more by internal politics and visibility than by actual performance. A tight-knit internal clique limits opportunities for those outside of it. - Senior leadership in Warsaw was often visible only to favored teams/people. In several years at the company, me and my team were ignored constantly.
