Pros
- Great starting-point in your career as a developer intern - Mentoring programme - Diverse projects; opportunity to learn new technologies below mid-level. - Flexibility when it comes to your daily official administration, ongoing studies, sickness, etc... - Youthful mentality, friendly environment. - Public management status meetings; transparency. - ShareIT knowledge sharing (weak tho). - Regular two-way reviews / clear feedbacks from team-leads.
Kontras
- At least 2 pointless on-site days as a developer. - Easy to get stuck within the same technologies; no further technological skill gaining above junior-level. - You might end up in technologically uncomfortable projects sooner or later. - No financial benefits like a cafeteria; some team-building events might require your own budget. - No salary increase; in fact there have been occasional salary delays or negative adjustments. - It's hard to climb on career-ladder due to lack of projects and small team size; there's no clear career path. - They require developers/testers to work overtime sometimes due to poor project management / technological estimations. - No water-purifier; you have to drink water from the sink on-site. - Technological management could be stronger in knowledge / more consistent. - Private salaries. - The company experienced financial instability and moved employees to a related organization managed by a leadership associate.
