Pros

Great colleagues, up to date technologies, hack week is fun and interesting.

Cons

Management from America has become more interfering and restrictive. Often not enough time allocated to improving projects until after things go wrong. This creates a lot of churn due to good developers feeling frustrated about working conditions. Overtime was not paid if you ended up called out and you were expected to be next to your phone 24/7 if you were on call.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
