Not the best option if you have life outside the office
Not the best option if you have life outside the office
- Compensation and benefits;
- Freedom to choose how you solve the problems;
- International team with interesting, smart people around;
- Sick days and home office;
- Nice office with a terrace;
- Free coffee, tea, fruits, and some food;
- Events for employees are organized quite often;
- There are some games and a music room, maybe something else, but I don't know anyone who finds time to use it.
- No work-life balance if you want career movements. Besides obligatory on-calls, you are informally asked to be available during some evenings/weekends.
- Stress and pressure will accompany you (this probably depends on the team).
- Very competitive and people/teams blaming culture.
- Bureaucracy and communication with HR/accountants.
To sum up, it can be a good place to start a career after university, but not as perfect if you are a parent with kids and want to spend evenings/weekends with your family.
