Pros

The only pros to join such a company is the Prague office location in a beautiful newly refurbished historical building in the city centre. Stay away from this place unless this is your first job as a developer in which case it is good to jump in as you would have a great opportunity to get paid and write low quality code which is never going to see the light of production anyway.

Cons

The company keeps changing its name: Kendaya s.r.o, Kendaxa s.r.o and now Kendaxa Development s.r.o. to try to renew an image which in fact doesn't exist. Very immoral and unethical practices towards the potential clients which are promised the Moon but are given nothing but being added in the company portfolio which is very efficiently used to convince investors to invest. Turnover is massive and the level of expertise is far below even the average startup company. - Very disorganized: prioritization gets often changed at anytime (from one day to another really!). - True nepotism in place: intimate relationships (in the real sense) at the top management level allowed strategic positioning of people at their first/second working experience to the top level and friends of them as well with pretty much questionable professional past (almost non existent). - No bonuses despite being promised at the beginning. - 150 hours overtime included in standard contracts. - Strong retaliatory policies are leading into political behaviors where reprehensible (IMO) acts of proselytism and evangelism have emerged, changing the spirit of the company - CEO and CTO, barely at their thirties, are "totally adequate" for a company which aims at being "better than Google" - Main office in Germany (Leipzig) close to full closure already for money saving - The most senior figures already left or have been fired for being not-aligned

Pros

1) Modern technology stack and tools 2) Interesting projects 3) They allow to work with multiple technologies at the same time for example, front-end and Go, Python and Java, Java and Front-end, etc. This gives people an opportunity to learn related technologies and see the full picture (for those who are interested in becoming a Full Stack software Engineer or an Architect). 4) They have people with deep experience (10 years and more), some of them are experts in their fields - this really drives me to become one of them. 5) Training sessions and education corners - good job and thanks to those who prepare for them! 6) Fun activities: BBQ at the terrace 7) Great location 8) Bonuses, and public transportation compensation - good stuff!

Cons

These positive things come at a cost - you have to learn constantly. It can be a pressure if you were not familiar with the technology stack the company uses, and you have to learn new stuff quickly in order to be useful for the company.
