Pros

Interesting and challenging projects, great colleagues and managers. Good possibilities for career evolution.

Cons

Often too much stress, too few resources available to fulfill projects in good conditions. We can dedicate little time to development quality and thus have to face unhappy clients. The main reason for these difficulties - and that's what makes them hardly acceptable as an employee - is that the company is led by financiers, who permanently strive to keep the margins at very high levels. That's a shame. That's why the company failed to obtain the label "Great place to work" as the employees were surveyed in 2015.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
