Pros

Developers (mostly interns) are a wonderful crowd, very friendly, responsible and ambitious. Most certainly the best part of Actimage experience. Due to lack of experienced people, anyone can get a lot of responsibilities. Most of the time one can put a thing or two on a CV, when time comes to look for a job in a normal company. Office is nice (although employees had to buy their own coffee machine). Unless you are doing something wrong, it is easy to work 8 hours a day (that is no overtime).

Cons

Company doesn't have a vision, projects are very different, with no key competences being developed. Involvement in European "innovation" projects adds a huge bureaucratic strain and results in software being created but not used by anyone. Corporate management culture is based on mistrust, disrespect and formalism. Huge focus on procedures and rules, reporting (there are four kinds of it!), zero leadership. While demanding strict compliance from employees, managers themselves very seldom manage to reply to an email, or resolve an issue. Constantly late for their own bs meetings, which, when happen, get stretched out into lunch break or late evening. Naturally, managers are very much disrespected and despised by employees. CEO himself frequently demotivates people by belittling effort and even insulting employees. Has no understanding about technology, product creation, innovation, or some buzzword du jour, which is constantly repeated. Career growth is very limited due to lack of experienced colleagues (most leave after about one year), need to constantly switch between different and random technologies, some of which are rather outdated or, even worse, built in house. Music, drawing on whiteboards and paper airplanes are forbidden. Internet is filtered, wifi is not available to employees. Many laptops are very old. Scores 2/12 on the Joel test.
