Pros

The people are great, and the salary is above average in Hungary, that's why a lot of my colleagues don't leave at the moment. Also offers flexibility when it comes to work hours.

Cons

It's been going downhill for about a year now, with no decisive action from management side. They didn't respond to external economical problems swiftly, and still the actions are slow. The current leadership is not experienced or competent to tackle the most important issues, and they pay with our emotions for months (they announced emergency period in January, then said we were okay and everything is good, then 2 months later they had layoffs in 3 waves - which were horribly communicated, and they let talented and hardworking colleagues go instead of people who don't do anything).

Pros

The environment, as in infrastructure was really nice. Work life balance was well supported and a lot of friendly people.

Cons

Supper kindergarten attitude when it comes to working together, and giving face to face professional feedback. All the backstabbing "politics" kills the good vibes. The feedback system they have is a Joke. For example as a team lead you can give a written feedback of I wish you would, I wish you wouldn't... and as a team lead you get a fully detailed feedback on your fit into the team, your work ethic, etc. So the the junior and medium team members can easily manipulate who's not a good "boss"...And although they say it doesn't really matter, if they want to eliminate you, they will use it. Made up HR principals... and simply no reception on change suggestions.

Pros

- Very friendly people from diverse backgrounds - They support junior designers in acquiring new abilities - Good work-life balance - A lot of time off

Cons

- They’re poor, like genuinely poor. Everyone shares one license for a learning platform, and they don’t even provide decent software or hardware to work properly. - The CEO has a big mouth. He’s always talking on LinkedIn about what makes a good or bad portfolio, but he can barely keep their three mediocre internal products from sinking. - They get hired for basic execution work, just pushing pixels around. There’s nothing meaningful, no interdisciplinary projects, nothing that actually moves the industry forward. - There are no career paths. Leadership keeps trying to start initiatives, but nothing good ever comes out of them. They wanted to be a consultancy and failed miserably. - The place is full of passive-aggressive people who hide behind anonymity to make nasty comments instead of owning their opinions. - There’s a constant scarcity vibe. People are scared of losing their jobs and end up competing with each other just to stay in the “favorites” circle. - They keep pretending they’re a cutting-edge agency, but the truth is they’re struggling to survive and hold on to talent. - A lot of people there are obsessed with UI animations like it’s revolutionary work, while others aren’t even sure if MVPs bring any real value.
