Pros: - Salary and cash bonuses can be fairly high if you negotiate well with recruiters.
- It is fairly stable if you have no professional pride.
Cons: - Once you are past the first year, compensation is either flat or decreases every year.
- The review system is just for show; you can have many S's and still get less money than the previous year.
- The pace is very slow, to the point it's demotivating.

Joined briefly through acquisition
Software Developer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
April 19, 2024
Pros: None that I noticed during one year there.
Cons: Joined through acquisition, but as soon as they realized they could not integrate our software, we were mostly ignored, and no meaningful attempts to integrate us were made. Left after a year.
