Pros

Management generally leaves you alone if you're doing your job Decnt compensation by Polish market standards Good work-life balance if you know how to manage your time

Cons

Promotions often seem tied more to visibility with senior leadership than to actual impact - especially if you do something for the CEO directly Mediocre engineers at higher positions Talented employees are not consistently recognized Difficult to get actionable feedback from managers or peers AI initiatives are pushed aggressively, even in situations where they do not add any value Stock refreshers are very poor

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
