Pluspunten

- Remote work - Remittance model salary (almost no tax deduction)

Minpunten

- The "Best Workplace" branding did not match my experience. - Engineering and project management in the web department showed favoritism and attitude issues. - Assigned unstable client projects outside my domain without proper support. - Office politics created an environment where resignation felt like the only option. - Micromanagement practices, such as being asked to screen-share client chats, felt humiliating. - December 2024 layoffs in the web department created instability. - No long-term security — frequent project switches. - Performance reviews felt biased. Hard work did not seem enough for growth. - Valid escalations felt discouraged to protect managerial image. - Leadership seemed disconnected from the challenges developers faced at ground level. - Overwork and burnout felt normalized, impacting mental health.
