Pros

They have a lot of room for juniors, foreigners, educational lectures

Cons

- The CEO is such a big bully, he doesn't hesitate to scream or threaten to fire any employee or team, i have seen in my eyes many times. ("If u dont finish it today don't come on monday" was his exact words to an entire team) - The Management is such a mess, nobody knows what the heck is going on. - They are using rusty technologies in most parts. Low code quality in general. - Nobody will care about your skills or qualifications at all, and don't expect to put you on a task that suits your skills, they will just fill the gap they need to fill. i have seen Senior .NET developers, super clever guys working for months on Changing text and other small tasks!!! - Don't Expect them to keep any promises from the interview or anything, No big raise or big career improvements. (I waited for 1 year and got 2 thousands, I am Senior Frontend Developer!) - The general atmosphere is stressful and toxic, Don't recommend working there at all.

Hello, regarding your first con, we have absolutely no knowledge of a situation like this ever happening in the company. This has never been the behavior of the CEO of this company and you don’t appreciate rumors like this being spread. This company takes care of its employees and does its best to create a positive and supportive culture. HR, Actum

Pros

Great colleagues and very talented professionals. Interesting clients Flexibility

Cons

Despite the company’s stable growth, the way it treats people is unacceptable. Layoffs are frequent, sudden, and handled without basic respect — for example, language teachers were terminated via email, while their students found out before them. All employee benefits disappeared with them. Unfortunately, the CEO is dragging the company down. His public behavior, especially on LinkedIn, is highly unprofessional and damages the company’s reputation. He openly disrespects remote work and assumes that anyone not in the office isn’t doing their job. In one all-hands meeting, he even asked people to leave the room simply because they chose to stand rather than sit. An environment led like this is neither healthy nor safe. The rest of the leadership team operates in a similar manner — lacking empathy, trust, and transparency. All decisions are made solely by the CEO. HR exists only as a formality and is treated as a powerless back office. In my business unit, one of the top roles is held by a person with an extremely toxic attitude — constant belittling, micro-management, and dismissing the experience of even highly senior colleagues are common. This behavior is not only tolerated by leadership but actively encouraged. Because of this, even the most talented people who are still holding on are likely to leave soon. It’s simply not a sustainable environment to work in long term. Also, dont expect any salary increase even if the company is growing and you get great feedback.
