Great working experience with some minor downsides
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 3, 2022
Pros: Great team and interesting project to work on.
Really like the way communication is set up here between engineers and managers.
The technology stack is modern.
Cons: I've noticed that some people are highly diving into work and have constant overtimes, even when they don't need to.
I would say maybe the "work-life balance" topic needs more attention here, but not for me personally.
A bit unclear how personal growth happens here.
