Business Outlook

Pros

The overall technical level is good, the projects are interesting. There is a friendly atmosphere, as long as you stay away from the managers. They provide good quality computers.

Cons

The only thing managers are interested in is keeping their job. Employee satisfaction, quality of workplace, honesty, ethics.... are irrelevant.
