Pros

They have a lot of room for juniors, foreigners, educational lectures

Cons

- The CEO is such a big bully, he doesn't hesitate to scream or threaten to fire any employee or team, i have seen in my eyes many times. ("If u dont finish it today don't come on monday" was his exact words to an entire team) - The Management is such a mess, nobody knows what the heck is going on. - They are using rusty technologies in most parts. Low code quality in general. - Nobody will care about your skills or qualifications at all, and don't expect to put you on a task that suits your skills, they will just fill the gap they need to fill. i have seen Senior .NET developers, super clever guys working for months on Changing text and other small tasks!!! - Don't Expect them to keep any promises from the interview or anything, No big raise or big career improvements. (I waited for 1 year and got 2 thousands, I am Senior Frontend Developer!) - The general atmosphere is stressful and toxic, Don't recommend working there at all.

Hello, regarding your first con, we have absolutely no knowledge of a situation like this ever happening in the company. This has never been the behavior of the CEO of this company and you don’t appreciate rumors like this being spread. This company takes care of its employees and does its best to create a positive and supportive culture. HR, Actum

Pros

I've met some good people and good developers. They have already quit the company. In fact, looks like even the bad ones did.

Cons

The company is circling the drain due to bad management on all levels. You will probably waste your time developing against some obscure broken CMS they are trying to sell at the moment. Avoid.

Hello, we hope that your evacuation was as easy for you as your effort to defame our company. It is always about the right situation and everyone should know that the things usually do not turn out like everyone wishes they would. The important thing is that our company always tries to put everyone in the right situation at the right time and create the best conditions for everyone as well. Anyway, thank you for your review. The statement that our CMS is obscure and broken are completely false. We would appreciate if you didn’t spread lies about our company. HR, Actum

Pros

Challenging projects, some of the colleagues are complaining about the technology used, but it is actually quite the top one. A lot you can learn yourself on how to work in international environment. Depends on team you are in, you can really come with nice solution. Every role has its task to do. Many people complain about the salary, but if you have experience and skills you will be paid well.

Cons

Declared mission & vision not aligned with reality. No strategical thinking about where to go and lack of proper plans and focus on finishing given tasks on all levels. CEO changes strategy every week. CEO has not real picture on what is happening in the company. Company is not doing any digital transformation, it develops websites and provides teams for clients. No one cares about people satisfaction and feelings, expectations are not set right. Lack of transparency. Lack of the processes. Lack of management that works systematically on given tasks. All seniors left, there is no one to learn from. Company is turning into outsourcing shop for developers. Quality of development is low so company cannot sell additional services. No managed learning. No one takes care about internal communication.

Hello, we believe you are painting a misleading picture of our company. We try our best to keep the strategy in place and make sure that it is clear to everyone in the company. It is completely false that our CEO is unaware of what is happening throughout the company. HR, Actum
