Pros
- Nice offices - Decent pay benefits (with caveats) - I've met really fine professionals working there
Cons
- You can not escape the ghost of this company's tax evasion practices: In every country this company has "employees": Poland, Ukraine, North Macedonia, they do everything they can (and what they can't) to evade the real due taxes as they stand for actual employees. Sometimes these speculative practices end up making the "employees" liable and in debt for additional taxes. - "Employees" are sometimes treated as shareholders when the company needs to share losses. With the recent covid-19 crisis senior management started shifting all the responsibility for bad things happening in the company to employees, and making every employee liable for it. Late invoice payments from one client = late salary payments to all employees in one office. Need to lay off people in one office = Mandatory salary cuts to all employees so that people are not layed off. Loss of clients and inability to find new ones = Layoffs. Massive invasion in people's private lives with the "productive hours" entering policy in ERP and ad-hoc mandatory meetings when everything shifted towards work from home. You are in the middle of a family lunch, but you have to participate in this important meeting for "charity" salary cuts scheduled half an hour in advance. Effectively, covid-19 turned the whole company into a crisis management HQ. Employees were forced to endure extended weekends under total lock-downs without getting their salaries for weeks and forced to negotiate salary cuts under those conditions. - The company has what resembles theater stages in their offices, but it's supposed to be an IT company, not a theater or a circus.
