Recommended for first steps in the field
Pros: brand strenght in CV, salary is competitive compared to equivalent positions at rival companies in the region (although in European terms still low - Polish reality), English-speaking and multicultural environment, modern offices in good location, high quality equipment for new joiners (phone, laptop, additional), pre-employment insider company social platform allowing some pre-work interaction with future colleagues (although after joining becomes obsolete), clearly described path of career within the company and transfer possibilites between departments
Cons: (project specific) organization chaotic at times, training period is not suited for the work done (review of the curriculum, especially focusing on practice with systems instead of many useless points introduced that are never used later at work), multiple pointless system and intranet requirements that lower efficiency of workers, lack of understanding of analysts' work by team leaders and the resulting frustration with not meeting targets, useless "huddles" working antimotivationally for those more sensitive and/or ambitious (feels like shaming or kindergarten reality sometimes), 8.5h a day instead of standard 8 (half is unpaid, serves for lunch break, ridiculous), for such a company in the XXI century in the capital the salaries could still be higher, poor working hours flexibility in the first months and holiday seasons (unless employee is experienced and has more holidays granted by law)
