Pros

Great place to start a career after graduating.

Tons of useful telco knowledge available to learn and master.

Good and fun atmosphere, as 90% of employees are aged 25-30 years.

Possibility of business trips.

Cons

Low cost location - Poland - low salaries comparing to Western Europe.

Almost no real chances of advancement as an engineer.

No real salary increase over years of work and experience.

Employees are aged 25-30 years? (Everybody leaves after 4-5 years or even sooner).

Totally bored and disgusted with constant low-cost policy.

Constant organization changes.

Some people and departments don't really feel responsible for product final quality, which causes other departments to suffer.

Horrible IT. Working here on a 4-year-old laptop is normal. Wasting so much time due to crappy and old hardware. It seems like spending $1000 for an up-to-date laptop is not worth it, even though it could speed up working by 40% and cause less employee frustration.
