Pros

Great teammates Christmas and Easter gifts Nice teambuildings You can work from anywhere you want

Cons

Management is broken The feedback regarding a team leader for ex is not taken into account Everithing is based on connections and friendships Yoyou progress in rank only if someone superior likes you and you always approve of him If you leave a negative feedback you are targeted The solution to the situation is not sought, but the person who disagrees with it is sought. You are threatened that you will be fired and no one will hire you if you don't want to resign They sell juniors as seniors to outside companies, they lie that people have certain skills even through they don't and of course that even though they work as seniors on the project they get junior salaries below the avarage level in Romania. When the CEO makes a mistake with something he blames the people in the management and he forces them to do things at the limit of legality.

Pros

Exposure to demanding clients. Unpaid salaries

Cons

This is an abusive and exploitative work environment where shouting, intimidation, and constant monitoring are part of daily life. On projects, employees are regularly yelled at by both management and clients. Micromanagement is extreme, trust is nonexistent, and psychological pressure is constant. Salaries are not paid on time, repeatedly. This is treated as normal by leadership, despite the serious personal and financial problems it causes employees. There is no accountability, no transparency, and no empathy. When salaries are delayed, employees are told it is "the client’s fault" even though the company continues to profit significantly from their work. Clients are known to be difficult, toxic, and abusive. The CEO is fully aware of this and deliberately turns a blind eye. Instead of protecting employees, management expects you to endlessly satisfy clients through unpaid overtime. You are required to tolerate insults, humiliation, and verbal abuse from both clients and internal management. During the interview process, candidates are promised stability, support, and a healthy work environment. These promises are false. In reality, employees are misrepresented to clients as senior professionals even when they are clearly junior, creating impossible expectations and setting them up for failure. The company charges clients senior-level rates while shifting all pressure, blame, and risk onto employees. There is no support from management on projects. On the contrary, employees are blamed for everything, regardless of workload, scope, or context. Team leaders do not lead, they exist to please the CEO and protect themselves, creating a culture of fear, favoritism, and silence. Speaking up only makes you a target. HR does not act as a neutral or protective function. Instead, HR actively sides with upper management in conflicts, arguing against employees rather than addressing abuse or misconduct. This company normalizes financial instability, psychological abuse, deception, and exploitation. Employees are treated as disposable resources, valued only as long as they comply and stay silent.
