Pluspunten

Nice office, salaries are paid on time, although below the market average

Minpunten

1) Discrepancy in Technology Stack: During the interviews, modern technologies and approaches are discussed. However, the actual daily work involves maintaining 70+ legacy projects (some over 20 years old) running on .NET 3.5 and Windows Server 98. 2) Understaffing and Lack of Infrastructure: A very small team (3 developers) is expected to manage a vast amount of technical debt. There is no support infrastructure in place: no DevOps, no QA, and no dedicated testers. The development lifecycle is entirely on the developers' shoulders. 3) Ineffective Management Practices: The immediate leadership (Team Lead level) lacks current technical involvement (has not coded in over 3 years). Communication is often entirely untransparent, feedback is inconsistent, and the management style creates unnecessary conflict rather than supporting collaboration. This approach leads to a highly stressful environment and negatively impacts team morale. 4) High Employee Turnover: Due to the poor management style and lack of support, team turnover is exceptionally high. Experienced professionals frequently leave the company shortly after joining to seek a more organized and supportive workplace.

Pluspunten

The work environment and management are good, with a healthy work-life balance, but this only applies to certain teams, not universally across the company.

Minpunten

Old employees are paid less (or receive worse salaries) compared to new hires, even when holding the same job title or responsibilities.
