Pros

- has interesting projects - overtime is not really usual - there is a career plan, you don't deserve a higher position because you sit there for years but because you take an exam for the next level

Cons

- The company, as usual (at least in Hungary), is not working to keeping the loyal workforce. There are some problems but the most painful are the salaries. They don't even try to keep up with the industry if you already work there. If there is a raise it is mostly ridicolous. - Though there is a system where you can go to take exam for a higher level in your position (developers for example are like D1-D5 where 1 is junior, 2 is experienced, 3 is senior...etc.) so it sounds cool but it is need to be approved that you can go for an exam. There are cases when (not usually but it happens) the capable candidate's request to take an exam is refused just because in the background they don't like him/her. Overall I would recommend the company for short term (1-2 year).

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
