Pros

On January 11th, 2026, I celebrate 10 years of being part of this great company, and I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful and proud of everything I’ve experienced along the way. It has been a decade filled with learning, challenges, and achievements that have shaped my growth both professionally and personally. I found a place where I could grow, an environment that pushes you to give your best and recognizes hard work and commitment. I’ve had the privilege of working with exceptional people who have taught me, supported me, and inspired me to continuously improve. When I look back, I see that I reached my goals, finished projects, and had experiences that really made a difference. Looking ahead, I’m excited for what’s yet to come: new goals to achieve and more opportunities to contribute to the success of our organization. As I celebrate this milestone, I want to thank everyone who has been part of this journey… I also want to support those who are looking to learn, grow, and contribute, as you will find those opportunities here. Results and fulfillment follow when you work somewhere you believe in and are empowered to advance. Thank you for these first 10 years. Here’s to many more!

Cons

Like any meaningful journey, it hasn’t been without its challenges. The industry evolves, priorities shift, and occasionally the future can feel uncertain. Change can be uncomfortable, but it is also what drives us to innovate, improve, and keep moving forward. Throughout these moments, I have always found support: leaders who guide with vision, colleagues who collaborate with passion, and a culture that encourages resilience and continuous development. Knowing that we have strong leadership and a united team provides me confidence that we are prepared for whatever comes next.

Pros

1. Exceptional Work Flexibility: The company fully supports a remote work model, which is highly valued and effectively implemented. 2. Strong Work-Life Balance: The culture genuinely promotes a healthy work-life balance, respecting working hours and minimizing the expectation of overtime. 3. Comprehensive Benefits Package: Employees are provided with some valuable benefits, including private health insurance and a gym membership/pass.

Cons

1. Compensation and Geographical Disparity: Salaries are non-competitive and often significantly below market rate, which creates a feeling of geographical exploitation. There is a noticeable disconnect where employees may achieve a new career level, yet their compensation remains anchored to the previous, significantly lower salary band. 2. Management and Talent Retention: Towards the end of my tenure, I observed a substantial decline in the quality of management. The previous manager was outstanding but ultimately left the company due to dissatisfaction with the overall career and life opportunities provided by the organization. 3. Technical Team Collaboration Culture: The professional conduct of some software architects is questionable. This manifests as a distinct unwillingness to listen to feedback from fellow software engineering colleagues, a closed mindset regarding alternative technical opinions, and, on occasion, communication involves an inappropriately raised voice. 4. Promotion Process and Budgetary Constraints: The process for achieving a new career level (promotion) is agonizingly slow, opaque, and highly challenging to navigate. Furthermore, even when a promotion is successfully obtained, the necessary budget for the corresponding salary increase is frequently not allocated, which appears to disproportionately affect employees based in Serbia.
