Pros
- Offices and facilities in the offices are pretty nice, our studio had a gym in the basement and coffe machines, fridges and water coolers on every floor. - Great colleagues, met some really amazing developers/people some of who I am still friends with to this day. - Great work-life balance, I had plenty of time to do my own thing every day. (Which I, in the Czech way, pretty much spend in the pub with colleagues/friends) - Very nice parties and BBQs - It's a great place to start off your career, learning opportunities can be limited due to people being very busy with projects. - Depending on your department, there can be very little to no crunch. I personally never really had to crunch, I stayed a few extra hours here and there but nothing out of the ordinary.
Cons
- Finding footing in the Czech Republic as a foreigner can be very tiresome. It took me some time to get used to it. - Management is too hesitant in firing sub-par developers, or firing people in general. Granted this seems to have improved drastically this past year. - Management is also too afraid to cancel projects that have been ongoing for a while now with no end in sight, I believe these projects will end up costing the company a lot of money in the long run. (I must add, there is more to this than meets the eye from a management point of view, which is understandable. But this point mostly ties in with the previous point)
