Pros

- Half day friday (you have to work more during the week).

Cons

- Recent positive reviews are made by managers and HR people, instructed to raise the score in glassdoor due to the difficult they have to find new talent. - Mid level management is there because of their friendship with higher level managers. Make the proper friends and you will get promoted, even if you are not qualified for it, like having no people skills. - A culture of lying to employees, managers blaming others of their incompetence is what's common. - A manager say to me once that a display of commitment and good performance was to work extra hours constantly (without expecting extra payment ofc). - Mediocre salaries. - If you manage to get a decent salary when recruited, then they will freeze it during following years saying that your payment is high compared to others in your same level. - Old tech stack. There are plans and work oriented to change this, but a very few chosen ones work in that, the other hundreds work in the old and poorly written codebase. - They can't manage to hire a FE architect, they have been trying during at least 3 years and clearly no one with the tech level required will work for them. - This is a tech born company that now is under business and old minded people, that's why proper tech oriented competitors are winning market over edreams, like Kiwi.com... work at Kiwi instead!
