Pros

-Easy interview -It's a job

Cons

Micromanagement and excessive meetings, inefficient processes. Outdated tech stack and poor legacy code. The worst HR experience in 8 years – rude, unprofessional, and engaged in GDPR violations and local labor law breaches. Management – constant overstepping of personal and legal boundaries, frequent after-hours disturbances. Overall ok though, could be worse. Asked to work for free – both myself and several newcomers were pressured to start working before the official contract start date. Legal threats from people operations – refusal to share an excessive amount of personal data or to sign unfavorable documents led to intimidation. I sensed racism from European employees toward Indian colleagues. Low salaries – below industry standards. High turnover, no technical leadership.
