      Local organization is great, working with HQ is not

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - The colleagues from the local office are great, good professionals that are always willing to help and have a positive attitude - Local office is state of the art and the location is very nice

      Cons

      - Poor product management, products are created mostly out of personal opinion and not much thought is put into it or using the right tools - Micromanagement done by the book, no empowerment or autonomy, lots of status checks to make sure you are doing your job - Chaotic with shifting priorities for no good reason - No career path in the company as management positions are kept at HQ - Very poor level of skill for the managers, not that professional and not focused on the growing employees - No time allocated to learn, almost no trainings - Feedback is sometimes requested and discussed but not applied, only the false assurance that you should speak up

      Good benefits and nice team, anything else is chaotic

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Nice side benefits - gifts on xmas/easter/women's day, fruits/sweets weekly at the office BC (before covid) - Depends on team, but I was lucky to work with some nice, flexible and open minded people - Teams are well organised in terms of roles: Devs, QAs, POs, SM and DBAs are all separate roles in each team. It eases up the collaboration and division of responsabilities - Managed to negotiate a better than expected salary. The industry is pretty...prolific. If you start a discussion with them, maybe try upping expectations with 10-15%, they might just accept it, if you are good technically

      Cons

      - High, constant pressure to deliver more and faster. It used to come in waves, with big launches that justified a high-pressure period. But lately it's for everything. - Delivery > quality. Not explicitly said, but it's implied. - Chaos on requirements. Systems fail routinely, frequent "fires to be put out", daily changes of top priority, nothing is taken out of sprint, it just keeps on adding. Team never finishes a sprint on same stories as started - No positive recognition of effort. If you do "good", it's "as expected". If you do "very good", managers compare inter-departments, with some team that somehow did even MORE - Corrupt agile/scrum. It respects all the surface-level formalities, but I feel like the general mentality is not aligned with the agile spirit - No wfh before covid, no official vision about post-covid options for flexible office/home arrangements - Don't count on bonuses or raises, they are small and not guaranted
