Work-Life balance is everything, and it is very well valued here. That was the most important aspect for me.

Culture is amazing. People are very friendly and welcoming, especially during the first month. It is all about getting to know the people, the culture, and what the company/product is all about.

I heard from many coworkers that it's a very dynamic environment, and that seems to be true. You could jump from one team to another on a whole other topic within the year, which, at least for me, makes things a lot more interesting and non-routine.

There's also some focus on personal growth and knowledge, encouraging you to take several hours a week to participate in courses, webinars, and guilds, planning your own topic presentation, basically improving your knowledge in any area.

Managers offer a lot of help in terms of career planning and growth, focusing on how you want to progress and where you want to end up. They will guide you and even offer up some tasks and responsibility that help steer and prepare you for it.

I've met/heard of many people at the company who have been there for 4-5, even 7+ years. And talking to some of them, I see no sign of boredom, lack of resolve, or burnout, which is a very good sign, especially in Software Engineering.

Highly recommended for anyone in Software Engineering at Junior, Mid, or Senior level in their career.

Salary is in the lower range, and it is not clear or at least not communicated clearly how your salary is going to increase.

Salary seems to be a common issue with most of the reviews. I knew that even before joining, from the things I read on Glassdoor.

This is definitely something that needs improvement. At the very least, clearer communication or documentation on salary growth, even when providing the offer.

That would at least give you some sort of view on where you would end up and might help with expectations.
