Pros

- the people are cool and the team fit while hiring is important - free lunches each Wednesday - work life balance

Cons

- a messy organization with huge scaling problems - Tooploox gets involved in almost any project they can get, even those which are super not interesting and frustrating for developers (that's why they grow so fast) - no way of getting promoted in any way - in theory you have access to events, but in practice only to local ones: all the big stuff is attended by two guys, who represent the company anywhere -the office at first was super cool, but now it's really crowded and not comfortable at all - average salary

Thank you so much for your feedback! As you mentioned, Tooploox is growing very rapidly and it doesn't come without extra organizational headaches. We're definitely not a perfect organization, we've made mistakes along the way and are currently tackling challenges of a 110+ strong company. We are working with the rest of the Tooploox team on improving our conference rules, people growth initiatives and better transparency (with input from the team) on who do we start working with and when do we say no to our potential partners. As for promotion, we've made a strategic decision to keep the company structure as flat as possible. This does not mean space for promotion is not available, but it is rather understood as gaining new responsibilities within your existing or future role. Once again thank you for your honest feedback. It really allows us to learn from our mistakes and helps us shape a better company. Thanks, Pawel Solyga Co-Founder @ Tooploox

Pros

- Very interesting projects which involve many people; many challenges and problems to solve - Even if the company is hiring more and more people there's still a startup atmosphere - Good benefits and pay - PEOPLE: very motivated, conscious of the fact that we're working together to accomplish a bigger goal; many experienced people

Cons

- There are many things to do, in different projects, so it's definitely not a place for lazy people :)

Pros

Salary on time, nice office in Wroclaw, friendly people

Cons

Some projects are left totally on their own, with little to no support. With the recent merger, the communication is far from ideal. Unclear process for salary review, or career progress. Salary slightly below average.
