      Business outlook

      Pros

      Everybody (with few exceptions) is friendly and working hours are reasonably flexible. Company also contributes to pensions.

      Cons

      1. Occasional redundancies and salary freezes. 2. Company is unwilling to spend more than the absolute minimum on basic necessities such as coffee, computer hardware, training and office amenities. 3. Outdated technology. 4. Unwillingness to give staff freedom to grow. 5. Unwillingness to invest in new technology or new ideas.

      Nice environment but boring job

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Relax environment, flexible timetable, not much stress, nice workmates

      Cons

      The job is pretty boring. Basically you have to maintain a software that is already working fine so most of the time you are fixing bugs.

      Bad software engineering

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Lots of people have been there for a long time and have a lot of domain knowledge. Office is nice and people are friendly. Newer software teams working in Java have decent standards and work well.

      Cons

      Decades old C/C++ code base. Huge technical debt. No unit testing or CI/CD. All testing is done manually by a team of testers. No modern C++ features. Senior engineers just want to keep everything the way it is. I was forced to revert even small improvements to code because no changes were allowed. Bad quality, reliability, scalability. One colleague warned me no-one cares about quality. I tried to improve standards, failed, and left. Many ad-hoc variations of old software still supported making development complicated.
