Mostly laid-back atmosphere. No need to come to the office. Good work-life balance.
No long-term planning. Assignments are simply dropped on your head out of the blue. This is okay for a start-up, but not a massive enterprise.
Unprofessional. Many teams work with old technologies or technologies that are unsuited for the job. Bugs are overlooked instead of being solved by senior engineers, which then cause massive, hard-to-debug issues that affect other teams.
Coordination between different teams is terrible.
Many employees are unhappy and feel the same way, which creates a very poor atmosphere in the office.
Many people write code without it being reviewed, simply because they don't have anyone on their team who knows the tech. (Thought about getting someone from a different team?)
Endless bureaucracy about EVERYTHING. Also, there is a different portal for every action you need to make.
Endless meetings about everything. The daily meeting in my team takes 45 minutes, out of which the team lead speaks 30.
Poor stock performance compared to other tech companies.
HR is unprofessional. The recruitment and onboarding process were terrible. A friend who was interviewed and passed all the professional interviews was given an offer by HR to be a contractor without notifying him in advance that he would not be an official company employee.
Welfare is almost non-existent. There are no happy hours, no happiness, barely an annual event, and offices are emptier than Chernobyl.
Fire the HR and Welfare.
The interview process went really well, and I got a proper idea of orientation. The employers were super supportive, offering helpful advice and motivating us along the way. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience!
Four rounds of interviews were conducted: three technical and one with the manager. Actually, they didn't ask any coding questions. They asked about language preference and the type of work I enjoy, among other things.
Two interviewers were involved, with differing experience levels. Once you pass this round, you will be invited to complete a 3-hour Codility test. An in-person interview with actual employees of the company will follow this.
