Pros

One can work on great products. The pay is OK. No micromanagement (in the team I work with, this of course varies greatly by team). Pretty much every upper-level manager was an engineer before stepping into management roles; they understand products and they understand the work that goes on in the trenches.

Cons

The location of the main Gdańsk office is horrible – a long commute. It's a boring building outside the city with boring rows of employee desks in open spaces. There are no colors, and you can't open the windows. It's like a cattle farm, but I guess that is normal for such US companies.

The second (much smaller) office in Gdańsk is in a pretty good location in the center, though.

Advice to Management

Next time you open an office in Europe, please consider doing it inside a city.
