Pros

Smart colleagues.

You'll get to do some interesting and challenging tasks, a decent opportunity for the beginning of your career.

Great product overall; you feel like you're making a difference. Fast time to market.

Performance bonuses.

Cons

Poor work-life balance.

No job security; be ready to get kicked out after a quarterly performance review.

An atmosphere of constant competition instead of cooperation.

A lot of pressure from management. Nobody really cares about the quality of the final product; you're going to jump from one project to another, not having enough time to build a good quality product.

No QA, so as a dev, you'll have to do all the testing on your own.

Changing the performance bonus calculation scheme at the very last moment so that employees receive much less than was promised before, undermining trust.

No salary adjustments for years. The company completely ignores the fact that there's inflation, so be ready to see inflation eating up your salary.

Very hard to get promoted, extremely obscure requirements. Management might keep giving you the same grades over and over despite your efforts.

Employees are treated as assets, which results in high turnover. Don't expect that your loyalty to the company will be appreciated.

Advice to Management

Been working for this company for 2.5 years and would only recommend it to those who have very little experience, as they will be able to grow quickly. More experienced engineers could find a better place.
