Good place to work, but not recommended

Pros

Salary was low before inflation, but now it's way lower than market. There are no real steps from management to fix employees' salaries anytime soon.

Overworking is a cause of poor project planning. Most of the projects are either sold with no clear requirements or have really bad estimations.

Cons

It's a great environment that supports learning and flexible work time. Great mindset and supportive for all your learning goals. But I wouldn't recommend it, as you can get a good environment in lots of other companies and with good compensation that makes you live a good life without worrying about your other responsibilities.

Advice to Management

If you worked on the salaries issue, IBM would be a great place.

Start-up companies even pay more than IBM, which is kind of unbelievable.

Try to appreciate the employees more, as more companies are opening in the region, they will get all the good employees you have.
