Cons
- You will be made feeling like you can do whatever you like in the company, no strictness, no sprint commitments etc. which can make one lax
- Nobody will tell you what is expected from you, so you will have no idea how to achieve success in your role
- The overall onboarding process is starting out nice, but ends up nowhere
- Product onboarding is none, except what you learn during the recruitment test task
- There are no coding standards defined - the "lead" developer will reveal some to you during your journey
- Invisible time pressure on releasing features
- You will find the codebase awkward and unlike everything you possibly have learned in other companies, that adhere to SOLID, OOP, Symfony, PSR etc. standards
- The product is very complex and has twisted logic, inconsistent database schema, with a lot of pitfalls, dead-ends and only few people can help you with information
- Lack of solid developer documentation
- There is no room or will for refactorings; ideas are respected though shelved
- You will have no feedback on your work from the bosses, until day zero, when you hit the evaluation call, even though they were closely monitoring your work
- They may not reveal to you, that you're on a trial period, on contrary make you feel as you're already part of the family
- If you are not a rock coding star, forget about passing the 3 month trial. The real expectations from a developer are very high, since the product's codebase is super-hard
