Pros

Competitive salary - if you play your cards well. Diverse range of outsourced projects. Good office location. Normal benefits when it comes to medical insurance and meal tickets. Ability to do overtime. Some personal growth opportunities might be available depending on your needs.

Cons

A lot of false advertisement when it comes to company goals and values. Unreliable management that doesn't assume responsibility for their mistakes or bad decisions. Truth is always sugar coated or hidden. Teams are built in a hurry, people are not always aware of their tasks or incoming projects. Feedback is almost nonexistent except from the times they need to push someone under the bus. Clients are being lied to when it comes to the service quality that they can truly provide. Unorganized and messy project handling. Clients are often unsatisfied with their services. Low quality standards. Quantity and speed is highly appreciated - quantity over quality is surely an unspoken motto in the company. Very corporate attitude when it comes to people management, even if the company still presents itself as a "startup" friendly environment. Usually, the company roles are given based on nepotism or personal preferences not really skills and experience. This can be checked - a lot of family members are placed in higher up positions.

Pros

-good location, but very crowed!

Cons

- poor management; - if you are not a friend of them, you can not advance; - everything changes there in a second. They do not care about the employers, and will kick you out in a second. - poor salaries. If you say a normal range in the market, they ask if you are also available for other forms of collaboration. If not, they reject you (QA,Support,Developer, doesn't matter); - for them, you are just a tool; - you can't promote (if you don't kiss someone's ...); - even if you are a good performer, they will say that you should do more; - the company is made by ex. EA, so the mentality is the same!!!!! - change the damn coffee, it is not good!! Just a cheap one!!!!!

Pros

Good transportation (subway). Headquarter in the center of Bucharest. Free drinks and fruits. Some sort of different projects, sometimes.

Cons

Weak leadership. Unrealistic work planning, with frequent and unexpected changes which cancels your previous work. (very bad) Lack of documentation for edge technology and game problems. (very bad) Grumpy colleagues with communication problems and bad attitude. (fake conduct but candy in the beginning) Beautiful but unapproachable girls. Low compensations with no sense of growth on long term.
