Pros

- The HR team shows creativity in organizing engaging team-building and activities. -There some easy interaction with other departments.

Cons

- The company only allows to work from home one day a week, even though most of the work could easily be done remotely. - There are minimal employee benefits. No SZÉP card or other benefits, and the private health insurance offered is the most basic option available. -There is no clear career progression or internal mobility, and there was no sign of investment in employees’ long-term professional development. - The HR was actively encouraging employees to post Glassdoor reviews, which seemed like an effort to boost ratings artificially. -Russian was the dominant language in many informal settings. Non-Russian speakers could often feel isolated or excluded from conversations and team dynamics. -The Team Lead and Managers can be dismissive and unapproachable, creating a tense atmosphere and questions are often met with impatience or snobbery, creating a stressful situations instead of supportive environment. Asking questions was often met with condescending responses, as if you were expected to know everything from day one. This created a tense environment and undermined confidence and growth. -Managers tends to micromanage so much the small details. Focusing to much the attention and energy in really small things, like investing in a three months in training to improve Tone of Voice” in emails, while neglecting more critical technical trainings on the complex applications and equipments that are part of the daily activities. -Feedback is rarely constructive and is often demotivating, Performance Reviews felt subjective and not transparent, causing demotivation and stress over the employee. Feedback rarely offered clear direction or acknowledgment, and often left the impression that you were doing everything wrong.

Pros

- Supportive and professional team - Opportunity for career growth - Approachable managers that genuinely cares about employee feedback - Hybrid work format with a possibility of working from home sometimes - Regular interesting team events - Language courses and in-house trainings I've been at Emlid for over a year, and it's been a friendly and professional place since day one. They really value each employee and new ideas are always welcomed. While there are challenges, they make it an interesting place to learn and develop. Watching the company expand and seeing customer feedback makes it an even better place to work.

Cons

- You always need to adapt quickly to a rapidly changing environment - High standards for work can be demanding - Sometimes, multiple tasks can overlap, requiring effective time management

Pros

I had 3 rounds during the interview process, 2 calls with the HR representative and 1 face to face interview. They were really nice during the entire process, very respectful, professionals and supportive.

Cons

Duration of the process: It took some time for the answers of the steps, however they were open to share information when I sent them a question about the process.
