Pros

Despite SoftServe is outsourcing, project teams are very dedicated to deliver and a lot of really great engineers work there. Personal development really works and smart entry level engineers could gain a big deal of skills. Lots of career opportunities to get to senior/leading engineering positions as senior people leaves often. So great company for junior engineers.

Cons

The company is getting to full blown Aristocracy phase of lifecycle, top management is focused only on politics games and not on business. For all mid managerial positions politic skills are far more important. It is not very good company for lead engineers/project managers as they have to work with bunch of juniors. For mid managers and above - join only if you all about politic, not about business.

friendly people, modern approaches and a very diverse workforce. great clients and thought pieces as well to bring to the table.

Cons

Not a con but just a note, they offer flexible remote working options, which may be different for those who prefer in-person

Pros

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Cons

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
