Great environment for learning and professional growth. You get exposure to different projects and technologies, which helps build a solid foundation. Supportive colleagues and a good place to start a career in software engineering.

Compensation is relatively low compared to the market, especially considering the responsibilities. Salary progression could be faster to better match experience and performance.

Teams communication is very good, you will learn a lot. Everyone is willing to help you if you have a problem. You will work at the entire stack, from Database to frontend, which is great to learn. If you are good, interested in growing and in the projects success you will have lots of opportunities to develop your skills further. If you are focused and interested in growing they have a good career progression.

Some projects are old and have older technologies, but you will not work for long on these projects, and there's a constant effort to update those projects, so it's not a big cons. Unfortunately, they don't have projects with cloud technologies like AWS, if you want to work with AWS services that's not a place for you. They can't compete salary wise with big international companies, but for your first years you should focus on learning.
