Pros
First of all, iTechArt is an outstanding educational contributor that runs a lot of external workshops and courses. The company is a great entry point to the Software Engineer career path. Another good thing to be mentioned, engineers are mostly free to perform both as technology-specific developers (Java Developer, React.js Developer i.e.) or as Software Engineers in general. It’s a good place to onboard new technologies to your stack.
Cons
To be “fast-growing”, the company uses an aggressive growth strategy. As a result, any non-positive global market change triggers silent lay-offs. Every lay-off is followed by a hiring wave, but every time company loses already onboarded and experienced workers, and instead of them hires new ones. iTechArt is concentrated on profit via “horizontal scaling”. The only available career development direction inside the company is a management one. The company’s technical expertise depends on hiring and individual employees’ activities. The company poorly invests in technical growth strategically. It only adapts to market changes after something happened, and never tries to predict.
