Pluspunten

- Offer above-average financial compensation. - Once-a-year possibility to attend a conference of your choosing. - Opportunity to meet some skilled people.

Minpunten

- Some proclaimed benefits are real disappointment (old and heavy laptop, low-end cell phone, meal allowances apply to local cantine only). - Yearly bonuses are without effort if you can write your evaluations properly or have friends at management. It's not motivating as they often just substract from the promised percentage. - If you're not a good corporate sheep who doesn't think twice about what it is told, then you'll probably experience strong "tendencies" from the top management to keep you in corner. - Cannot keep with latest technologies, focus on heavy Oracle solutions (WLS, DB, OSB, JMS, ...). - Strong tendencies against innovations (e.g. AMQP/RabbitMQ, Docker, microservices, true CI and deployment automatization). - Developers are required to keep on-call support (24/7, 15 min reaction time), often nicknamed "slavery time", because it is not compensated very well. - All employees are forced to perform meaningless administrative tasks (e.g. frustrating time tracking, filling empty business trip expenses, corporate spam). - I have not experienced any career growth (myself nor with my colleagues). - Proclaimed flat structure includes several layers of management and changes once a year without proper explanation. - Frequent need for business trips to Brno central. - Some employees stay only for the financial compensation, but many leave so development is constantly understaffed.
