A good place to grow up

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of technology projects. Plenty of perks inside and outside the office (some people don't take enough advantage of these). Decent hiring process. Good mentorship for junior hires (college recruiting is very well done).

Cons

Deadline-oriented development. Explicit tracking of hours in the office and hours "billed" to various departments (most developers aren't used to billing time like lawyers). Virtually impossible to get rid of poor performers (usual fear of lawsuits).

Great work culture and space

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The colleagues are great and the benefits are quite good. The possibility of path and career advancements, as well as international moves are good.

Cons

Coming as an outsider it takes a while to adjust to the very collegiate and child like company culture. They boast a flat structure, but in reality it's quite hierarchical as everywhere.
