Honest Feedback Based on My Experience at the Company
Pros
- Really good work-life balance—you get flexibility to manage your own time. - If you deliver results, you get bonuses and long-term incentives. - Lots of chances to learn and try out different tools and parts of the project. - They’re top-notch when it comes to mapping, location services, and navigation in the automotive industry. - Great place to gain broad technical experience. - Great place for interns to learn and work on cool technologies and topics
Cons
- Management is often stretched thin or lacks the technical know-how to guide teams properly. Teams usually don’t know what others are working on, so transparency and teamwork suffer. - There are constant reorganizations and leadership changes, which makes things unstable. - The company is still figuring out its culture and identity, so things can feel a bit unclear. - There’s almost no budget for talent development or training. - Getting money approved for team-building, meetups, or workshops is really hard—everything is super tight and bogged down by bureaucracy. - Salaries are pretty average, about 20% lower than what you’d expect for the role. - Benefits aren’t consistent. Some countries get perks like gym memberships and transportation tickets, but others (like the Czech Republic) don’t. - HR sometimes doesn’t know local policies and I’ve had to explain basic stuff to them with proof.
