Pros
  • Really relaxing and slow-paced work environment.
  • Kicker, kitchen, bean bags, free beers, and any other fancy stuff money can buy, so you can take selfies and show to the world you work for an amazing company.
  • Trips and parties.
  • Flexible working hours.
  • Relocation offered.
Cons

Junior-ish environment (lots of junior engineers). As a junior engineer, you'll grow slowly and get mentoring from a few average engineers considered "gurus".

No upfront OKR setting for personalized professional and career development.

No cutting-edge tech, or even the "right tool for the right job." Get ready to work on legacy systems with outdated tech stacks.

Way too many ceremonies and meetings, whereas a developer, you don't get involved in product definition anyway, hence being just a code monkey.

Get ready to blindly follow all the company's core values and do endless workshops about that.

Software/Process quality is not a thing. Remember, we are in a mass-production feature factory with lots of junior devs, some "gurus" around, and an outdated tech stack.

No bonus scheme.

Lots of bureaucracy and office politics.
