Pros

Friendly team and relaxed manager. Unlimited paid vacation days.

Cons

Salary is way bellow market average. You get positive feedback from your managers. You get emails about how we've went beyond our targets, about how well we've done, and how well the business is going. Then you get an yearly raise which is bellow the inflation rate. There is almost no documentation of the code. Your only chance of understanding the legacy code that you are working on is debugging through it step by step. Everyone is clueless. You get bug reports from the QA team, and they don't know that that's actually how it's supposed to run, or that they got an issue because they misconfigured something. Insufferable corporate rhetoric. Being constantly sent emails from HR about how much they value us, the employees, won't make us feel appreciated, when we get such uncompetitive pay. The CEO, much like our country's former dictator, has a bit of a cult of personality. He enjoys putting his face on every corporate material possible, and he often records videos of himself, in a studio, reading data off charts, and telling us sweet nothings about how it's so important to be motivated, hardworking, and innovative.
