Pros

Opportunity for international relocation: The company does offer a chance for employees to experience living in a different country, which could be an appealing aspect for some.

Cons

Inadequate planning: The company seems to lack foresight in its project planning. This results in an unstable work environment and possible sudden layoffs, as experienced in my case. Low job security: As a project-based company, there's a significant risk involved if there aren't any projects lined up. If you're not assigned a project for more than a month, your job might be in jeopardy. Unpredictable layoffs: The company tends to lay off employees without a fair warning, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
