Good For learning lots of Areas - Anonymous employee Procergs Employee Review

There are good benefits specially if have wife and sons, the company is going to pay school for your children until six. You are going to have a good dentist and medical care. There is a yearly bonus when your time and the company get some indicators of quality.

There is really old way to think the work environment, the level of seniority its quite elevated that is a factor the create a lot of change resistance. It is very hard to arise on career, because the company is strong dependent from Government budget and there is very intermittent promotion process.

- It's gratifying to work in the public sector, serving your fellow citizens and fighting for better and safer public services; - If your team work for a good client or if your leader has good relationship or influence over management they may pay and allow you to attend to IT events in the city; - They are (VERY slowly) opening up to "new" (2+ years old) technology and programming techniques.

- Pays VERY badly. It's only kinda good if you don't pay rent, live very cheap or don't know how much your time is worth. Any decent company will pay the same or much more (unless you are very incompetent); - Incompetence is the norm: you can't expect your colleagues to be competent programmers (i.e. with knowledge of anything but the bare minimum to get the job poorly done), and if you do they'll make YOU feel like the bad person that's asking "too much"; - Bureaucracy everywhere: you are supposed to log your hours in 4 different systems every day, one of which doesn't even have a GUI. A VM takes more than 2 weeks to get deployed, just to say the very least; - VERY slow to change: technology doesn't get updated. Ever. Even when it gets discontinued from the vendor they'll keep using it indefinitely with no plan to upgrade or migrate; - Very old fashioned way of working: no unit testing, no CI, don't even know what Docker is, code reviews are unheard of. As of mid-2017 they started to use Git, and a few years ago SVN was big news for them; - No regard for security and privacy of employees: they're still in the bronze age and use a proprietary deep inspection proxy to block all sorts of sites (even some work related) and spy on unsuspecting workers that log into private accounts (email, banking, health, social networks...); - No motivation to evolve in the career: since they are stuck in time you have to motivate yourself to keep up with the rest of the world or else you'll be in big trouble when trying to get another job elsewhere; - You won't get a raise, ever, no matter how good you are, unless you are very close to your manager or politically aligned with the ruling party. And yes, I was promoted a few times, but was friends with management at the time; - Everyone is treated equally, except some are "more equal" than others... If you work with a "less regarded" technology (in their eyes) you'll be treated like garbage. Examples: -> If you need a licence for a software or just update a FREE software but don't work with their "first class" tech stack, your request will be declined or delayed forever; -> Once a colleague that was declined participation on a REALLY cheap event on the weekend "just because" (cheaper than a good dinner out).
