Pros

-Various office perks including access to free drinks and fresh fruits, modern office environment, and flexible working hours. -Provision of language courses at no cost. -Locations in Kelenföld, Budapest and the possibility of career growth for those willing to appease management.

Cons

- HR department struggles with basic functions and lacks professional competence. Long waiting periods with no responses are common. - Absence of clear career progression and development plans, with no official job descriptions provided. - Salaries fall well below industry standards with counteroffers only made at the point of quitting. Even then, increments are meager and disproportionate to industry norms. - Persistent feeling of being under surveillance and undervalued, creating an uncomfortable and demotivating work environment. - Management, from local to upper levels, exhibits signs of incompetency and lack of leadership skills. Favoritism and nepotism seem rampant. - High turnover rate, with about 60% of new hires leaving during their probation period. Notice periods have been extended to three months, an absurd length. - Insufficient flexibility for remote work. Personal commitments require taking leaves, with exceptions made only for "yes men". - Irresponsible handling of Covid-19 situations, with attempts to keep infections secret and the implementation of laughable safety measures. - The German-centric mentality leads to a perceived superiority complex that creates tension and high employee turnover. - Task assignment is often unrelated to job roles, as exemplified by Cloud Engineers having to handle 1st level tasks due to an ineffective Service Desk team. - Issues with parking facilities, with limited spaces for employees and a majority reserved for management.
