Pros
  • People are nice
  • Office is not an open space (each floor is divided into small rooms for around 3 people)
  • Working hybrid twice a week
Cons
  • Working with an unmaintained, outdated, horrendous legacy codebase
  • Lots and lots of bad practices
  • No product management, which means you'll do both..
  • No QA in some teams which means you'll spend your time firefighting bugs and production issues
  • Lousy benefits: barely any employee welfare, low 10bis, not enough kitchen supplies, gift on Rosh HaShana was a cheap bottle of wine and honey..
  • Company always trying to be cheap in general
  • Bad working conditions: No macs, company forces you to work via Remote Desktop app called Citrix instead of locally (which obviously has issues absolutely all the time)
Advice to Management

Get rid of the Citrix thing, it's terrible.
