Stable Salaries are ok Most people are friendly

Minpunten

Impossible to grow if you are not friends with management, every year they will have an excuse to add more responsibilities without more salary because "you are still in the path". PMs with technical knowledge? a dream, get ready to be micromanaged and asked the same stupid questions many times a week Growth is heavily dependent on personal relationships with management rather than performance. If you’re not in that circle, expect to stay “on the path” indefinitely while responsibilities quietly increase year after year without meaningful salary adjustments. Project management often lacks technical depth, yet still exerts strong control over implementation details. This leads to constant micromanagement, repeated questioning of decisions, and time lost re-explaining basic concepts instead of actually building solutions. Client interactions are not balanced. There is little protection for developers, and unprofessional behavior from clients is often tolerated or ignored as long as the contract is intact. Your well-being is not the priority. Technical input is undervalued. Decisions are frequently driven by non-technical stakeholders who override experienced engineers, sometimes confidently pushing incorrect assumptions. Over time, this discourages initiative and creates a culture where speaking up feels pointless. Expect unclear expectations, shifting goals, and a steady increase in pressure without corresponding recognition or support.If you have tech insights or input, keep it to yourself, the non-tech PM knows better than any senior dev

Pluspunten

This company is dedicated to its employees and to their commitment to constantly learning and growing. I have had so many opportunities to grow in my career. The frequent feedback I receive has helped me to be a better employee, and even a better person. The people I’ve gotten to work with have been professional and dedicated individuals, and every step along this journey has been enjoyable. This is a company that wants to see each team member succeed, and they take pride in watching us accomplish our goals. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to work.

Minpunten

Honestly, my only complaint is that since we are a multi-national company I can’t see my teammates as often as I’d like to in person. It’s great when we can all get together to work and learn from one another.
