Business Outlook

Pros

Option to work from home (not all clients though). Immediate managers are very helpful and supportive. Many highly skilled and ambitious colleagues, professional engineering culture - often more professional than that of the client. A good place for any junior to learn technologies and to improve their skills.

Cons

Salary between 30-50% lower than other companies in the same location. The salary raises are lower than the inflation. Learning and self-development is only supported in theory: you can only learn outside your working hours, which are already longer than those at many other companies (9 hours with lunch break included). Work-life balance is non-existent, the workload is heavy. You do not receive the same benefits as the employees of the client since you are a contractor. The projects are often bad, and if you want to change to a different project (client) you need to do interviews the same way as you would when you changed to a different job at another company. The senior management says that employee turnover does not make it necessary to raise salaries (according to them).
