Pros

Opennes to innovation, challenging tasks and substantial local responsibility in Budapest. Good infrastructure, some opportuntinity to travel to international conferences.

Cons

Getting too corporate with many people building their carreers while focus is a little bit being lost from the product and strategic goals. (But the sitiation is still a lot better than at large multi-national corporations.)

Hello - Thank you for your great feedback. It is great to read that you are working on challenging tasks and hopefully you have been to Boston to collaborate with your teammates there. As we grow, you will see more process and procedures being implemented and this occurs at every company during growth stages. If there are ways to be more lean and efficient, please share your thoughts with your Scrum Master, Manager, and HR team. Thank you, Jason

Pros

In recent years so many things have been better, culture and values are still forming following the trends. Company is not same as it was in 2013. Within Logmein you can work with many ‘rock-star’ developers. Extremely good personal development opportunities. Supported learning in many area: personality, language, profession. Widely introduced agile approach, otherwise teams lack of authority. Management pay attention of employees' affinity and career plan. Relaxed office culture, you usually not forced, no strict dead-lines. Helpful human resource, well-equipped office. Real flexi-time. Amazing kick-off parties in exotic places. It is generally good team-team communication, if you are willing to initiate a talk. Free snacks, fruit twice a week, coffee and tea. Cheap, fresh orange juice.

Cons

Product development process should be faster which does not highly depend on the software developers. Larger steps often face obstacles this leads many unnecessary and time-consuming struggle. Unpredictable long-term decisions are still in hidden, management appears secretive. You may working for achievements for months, but they’ve already chosen totally different path for product before. Not fair play. Not entirely taken over the agile methodologies, many important aspects are missing. Oppressively number of managers and manager levels comparing to number of ‘do’ers. The current global trends in R&D indicate that the flat corporate structure more conducive to the efficiency, agility, development, communication and corporate culture, even so they have been making more and more new executive chairs with new, weird titles. Some unhealthy, sugary perks.

Excellent work environment and conditions, great people, plenty of social events and the company also cares about charity - all combined with a good salary.

General development vs product struggle like everywhere else I worked for.
