      Nice retirement home

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Very good pay - Loads of freedom - Pretty much everyone is nice because they probably aim to stay working there - Lots of internal events - I got two days of WFH, but there were some who got more if you wanted - Never had to work overtime, or weekends - Rather modest management, which makes them quite approachable, with a few exceptions of course who seem to be entitled nut cases.

      Cons

      - Seemingly draconian work contract, I have not seen anything as restrictive, and they just refuse to negotiate any of it, even when they agree with you. I have never seen any of what is written in the contract happen though. - Somewhat awful open working space. It is decent, but you can hear everyone talking. - Everyone seems to be so empty, and alienated from work. There are people who are well motivated, but the rest is just not focused, and it starts to seep into you as well. Although there still are beacons of light, they will most likely leave. Example, 15 people in a meeting, 4-5 actually talk.
