      Ambitious company, very supportive and caring culture

      Pros

      The company has a healthy culture of striving for continual improvement that really encourages talent growth and ideas from across the business. The company has an excellent understanding of the fact that staff wellbeing and a positive company culture are crucial in engendering loyalty and high-performance. Best of all, senior management at all levels really welcome input from individuals from across the business, with mechanisms in place to both listen to and act on contributions.

      Cons

      The breadth of the company offer is both a strength and a challenge, in that it requires some mental dexterity to understand in depth all of the areas that the company develops technologies and solutions for.

      Great experience if you are lucky, but you won't become financially independent

      Pros

      The best thing about Critical Software is that you may be able to do top engineering. When you land interesting stuff, its really a top experience, from an engineering point of view. Quality practices are part of the company culture. And you may work for international clients.

      Cons

      Top and middle-management positions are filled by in-crowders at company headquarters. A senior position is the "glass ceiling" of the company. Payment is not transparent, you will not know what the colleague sitting next to you earn. You may earn less than people you supervise. Pressure can be very high and hours very long. People spend lot of time in junior positions.

      Almost there

      Pros

      -Like the title says: the company has an amazing working atmosphere. Working in an open-plan kind of office really helps to bring people together. -Really strong set of values which the management tries to pass on to their employees. -Socially speaking, no one is above anyone else. Everyone gets treated the same way and the manner in which you talk to the CEO is exactly the same in which you talk to an intern. -Opportunity to work on very different projects. From railways to online fashion retailers. -Management listens. You are encouraged to talk to them and speak your mind. -You can make your own schedule (as long as it doesn't conflict with your team or your meetings). Want to start working at 4pm and leave at midnight? You're free to do so. -Results matter more than spending 8-9h in the office. -Generally speaking, everyone is extremely friendly and is always available to give you a helping hand.

      Cons

      -The salary is almost offensive in some cases - it's extremely low. This overshadows many of the Pros written above. -Compensation and benefits exist but they aren't that great. -Some egos in the senior management area are really though to deal and not only it affects the employees but also the company as a whole.
