Mixed feelings. Personally, a tough experience so far, but I'm learning a lot for sure

Pros

Pay well, especially if you stay longer. Good RSU plan.

Stable and usually not laying off.

  • Two WFH days a week.
  • 20 yearly remote working days.
  • More annual leave days than average.

Discounts on company products.

High-end tech and complex problem-solving.

Cons

Lots of internal tools and technologies. Learning them won't help in the next role.

Very dull socially. No work buddies. Not an environment that accommodates that.

Very hard entry process. No buddy, no intro course/document. Just a boss and a very big entry task.

Hard and long deployment process.

Almost every bit of food costs money, and relatively a lot. The kitchenette only has coffee and apples.

Offices look gray and the only thing colorful is advertisements of company products.

Offices only have cubicles, meeting rooms, and corridors. Almost no extra space for a short break.

No HR department. If you need something, open an online request. There's no personal support, no one to actually turn to if you need something. No one is in charge of employee experience, none of that. Just work. It's a kind of depressing experience generally.

Lots of meetings in the evening.

Advice to Management

Hire someone to improve the employee experience, both in the office and outside the office.

Enforce that every new junior hire receives proper guidance.
