Pros

Positive working relationships with colleagues within the mobile department

Cons

- Bad ethics and values: The company prioritizes task completion over the well-being and concerns of employees. - Be ready to work long hours and sometimes even weekends. Bad management often leads to bad planning. Since they mostly care about their projects they'll make you work a lot more than you have agreed to. - Being an agency company, they rely on external companies for projects, requiring constant communication and responsibility for business details. In case of any issues, there is little to no support from the company, leaving individuals to deal with problems alone. - Inadequate compensation, lack of benefits, and absence of a health plan. - Emphasis on a startup mindset. The company predominantly hires junior developers, lacking a seniority structure. This can result in a subpar tech stack and limited expertise within the team.

Pros

As a first job I gained a lot of experience, I worked on big projects since the agency has some of the biggest players on the Greek market and now some internationally (COSMOTE, NBG etc). Also big plus it is fully remote, pays good money and the almost all colleagues are some really good people.

Cons

After a certain amount of time you reach a growth limit due to the nature of the agency workflow. In one hand clients always have the upper hand in what is the final products and how much effort you put in things and on the other managers will not be satisfied with the quality of what you offer, so the balance is always off to who you try to satisfy. Also a lot of times since you are always the third party to the client you have to prove your self every time and sometime they still don't accept you and that become tiring after a certain point.
