- Salaries are the lowest in the region for tech jobs.
- Usually salaries dramatically decrease over time when translated into any stable currency (like USD) when the local currency receives a hit (forget about paying off your debts or going on vacation if you are here on an unstable period).
- Organization is messy, clumsy and all in all lacking character and initiative.
- no backup plans, impromptu is the policy for core topics that affects the employees on their work agenda (local servers, testing devices, work equipment, network configuration, ISPs).
- Work essentials are missing, there are cumbersome procedures in place to solve daily issues like internet stability, upgrading specs like RAM or changing your broken headset.
- most of the perks of software factories are non-existent or hard to get, like work from home on regular useful basis, portable computers / laptops, or discounts of any kind.
- the office is enclosed and gloomy. No garden, no green areas, no place to smoke a cigar or breath fresh air, no common leisure areas or facilities (or old and crippled). Group activities are not usually encouraged.
- could literally keep going forever.
