Pros

1. Salaries used to be above market level 2–3 years ago. 2. Opportunity to grow not only as an engineer but also try yourself as a mentor or interviewer. 3.If you’re lucky, you can land on an interesting global project. 4. Benefit basket that can be used for health or hobbies.

Cons

1.There were cases when employees were told everything was “fine” in person while being pressured behind the scenes to resign “voluntarily.” 2.An unpaid bench was recently introduced, where people are forced to take unpaid leave — a practice that is at the very least questionable from a legal standpoint. 3. Internships used to be highly desirable, but now the program has turned into something closer to Endava’s approach: after 6 months of training you are “kept,” but often still pushed into unpaid leave. 4.Quality of management strongly depends on the team: in some cases, employees are treated more like resources than people, which directly affects work/life balance. 5.Salary freeze has been in place for about two years, and recognition or awards often go only to “favorites.” 6.Local office operates on a minimal budget: no team buildings, no proper snacks or coffee in the office. 7.Moldova office is treated as the “India of Europe,” with little investment or care. 8. Only 8 parking spots for 200+ employees.

Pros

Fast-paced and dynamic environment that keeps you engaged and continuously learning. Strong sense of momentum, there is always something meaningful to work on. Great opportunity to stay up to date with modern tools, workflows, and industry practices. Exposure to diverse projects, which helps you grow quickly and build experience in a short time. Supportive and professional colleagues who value ownership, problem solving, and delivery.

Cons

The workload can be intense at times, especially when multiple deadlines overlap. Work–life balance may require extra personal effort, depending on the project phase and expectations. The fast-paced nature of the work may feel demanding for those who prefer slower or more predictable rhythms. For contractor-based roles, compensation and benefits may be more limited or not standardized, and may require clearer upfront alignment depending on the engagement model.
