Pros

I have worked at robusta as a web developer. Got to learn different stack of technologies and apply them on different business domains. Got a chance to be wrong and to learn from failures; hence grow technically and professionally. Got exposed to the business side by handling clients/customers sometimes. The CEO spoke about being a leader in E-Commerce development 5 years ago and this year they organized the E-Commerce summit. Amazing planning on the business growth side. They have a certain standard in hiring, technically speaking; so good engineers (and personalities) will be your colleagues. Management listens to feedback and acts. Your work and achievements are recognized, appreciated, and rewarded.

Cons

- Project management was an issue. Specially that the company was growing exponentially at a fast rate, so we couldn't say no to some extreme requests. - Work life balance was not good compared to other companies. But it was fun and exciting. - Salaries "were" below market average. - Work evaluation and appreciation can sometimes be unrealistic and harsh. You need to know how to handle that and this is common for most of the companies in the market.

Pros

1. Friendly Environment. 2. Exposure to multiple projects (but learn on your own). 3. If you impressed them, you might have some benefits (flexibility and compensation). 4.

Cons

1. Lack of process and Micromanagement. 2. I have witnessed multiple people being fired for almost no reasons. If they didn't like you, you are in danger there. 3. No Seniors/Tech Leads there. 4. They will always rush you to deliver. No attention to quality and also no challenges at work (Only small projects). 5. Fake benefits (They are applied only on few people there).

Pros

- Engaging environment - Friendly coworkers - Great exposure

Cons

- If you're not working 12+ hours to keep up with your tasks then you'll be looked down on. The company normalizes long working hours. No work-life balance - Dishonesty with their clients. They usually communicate facts that aren't true, whether it is the status of the project they're working on or the amount of team members that are 'fully dedicated' to the project, which isn't true at all. - Incredibly understaffed with no intention to hire so that they could cut down cost. They hire one person to do a three man job. - They don't follow correct process and are incredibly resistant to change - Incredibly low salaries and they justify it by saying that you'll get benefits that are never actually provided - Management does not leave anyone to do their job, it's literally a one man show to them and they have to interfere with everything. - Management is not confrontational and will talk to everyone about your 'bad performance' because you didn't work 12+ hours but they won't tell you to your face. - Too many distractions because they're always moving around what they like to call "Resources" - Team members. Nothing ever goes as planned because of their incredibly poor management. - Management lies to clients for retention and sell them false or ambiguous ideas on purpose
