Pros

Some of people are nice and technically good - you can try to learn from them, if you and they will have time. The 10bis meals are nice to have, but a lot of much smaller companies have it as a standard already. Summer "nannies" for workers' children. Small bonuses there and here, as the most of IT companies have. Company support (at least, it seems so) for different interests / hobbies sections.

Cons

Salaries are comparatively low (even with RSUs) and not worth all the minuses, described below. The more you work there, the less possibilities you have to advance in a career or money. Sweat factory. More "results" & reports, even stupid and abstract - is the key to success. All the given bonuses seem to be a tribute to tradition, then some kind of prize for achievements. Sometimes good luck or good speech knowledge can give you much higher salary, than for a guy who knows more / works harder as twice as you. HR is completely "robotic" and works on basis of standards from like 70-80s of the previous century; they have absolutely no influence on inner personnel processes, needs etc (ok, except of very small things). The more responsibility you try to take, the more resistance you'll have. Easy going to enforce you to work additional hours on a global salary, even if it violates the labour laws. Incompetent people are hardly fired. No company "atmosphere".

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
