Pros

Nice office in Prague, 3 days a week at home office, which is even good these days, although I believe that work should be completely remote

Cons

The company relies on cheap workforce rather than strong engineering competencies, therefore, is not a company where you will be respected based on your experience and skills. There are clans run here, and the most interesting projects and tasks go to "the insiders". Personally, I have experienced professional humiliation here, where my work experience and expertise are simply devalued. While I have many years of experience and capable of solving architectural-level tasks, I have being used as a "firefighter". I was given tasks that no one else wanted to do, for example, tasks that were technically impossible to complete without redesigning the entire system or junior-level tasks. However, when I tried to leave the Company, they held me by manipulating with my fear of returning to my home country. At the same time, I was constantly given promises that they had no intention of fulfilling. This led to a catastrophe in my life, as I eventually came to believe in them. Do not repeat my mistakes and do not come here to work.
