Pluspunten

The team has a few capable engineers who are supportive and do their best to keep things running. Benefits package is decent (private insurance, remote work ).

Minpunten

Compensation is below average for the local market, especially considering the workload and expectations. Raises and adjustments are opaque. Career development is more aspirational than real. There's no structured path, and promotions often go to those with the right internal alliances rather than based on performance or initiative. Tech stack is significantly outdated. Most systems rely on legacy infrastructure with little documentation, with no attempts to modernize Burnout is common, especially due to firefighting rather than real engineering work. The under-resourcing of key teams forces people to compensate for missing roles. Feedback is often collected, but follow-up or implementation is rare — leaving many feeling that input is only welcomed when convenient.
