Pros

they hardly ever fire anyone, if you don't step on the wrong foot and do an 'ok' job, you can linger here forever, performance reviews are a joke, targets are set low so anyone can do it, from the technical skill point of view it's not a demanding job at all + you have a lot of free time

Cons

very political, people are secretive and backstabbing, always 'escalating' issues (shifting blame on someone else), unable to communicate directly about anything at all, many are building their own 'empires', others go there just for the paycheck, and no one really gives a damn about the work or really solving issues, they are usually nice but it's often just a facade, the more senior the worse

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
