Good Pay, Unstable Contracts
Senior Software Developer • Former Employee
Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
May 8, 2025
Pros: Clean rooms, friendly staff, great location, good money.
Cons: Openspace. Lots of us were told to work five days from the office instead of three. Contracts are not extended. All contractors are like students: they don't understand what is going on, how long they would be working, what to do, or which project they would join. You can see other students from other years, and some time later, they disappeared and new ones appeared until it is your turn.
