Pros

Flexible working time. At the end of the day only some of the friendly coworkers save the mood.

Cons

Ad-hoc development: no specification, planning, or documentation. Average salary is 20% under what other companies offer (admitted by the management). Professional demotivation techniques: - setting up goals to the year - making promises by the management about the improvment of your working conditions (salary, or other benefits) - saying no without any explanation at the and of the year, when you reached the goals Only goof for 1-2 year: after that it not make sense to stay, especially for juniors or regulars, because your salary will only increase with the inflation rate or less. Your bonus only depends on the amount of your unused overtime.

Pros

They do a great job at vetting good people you'll actually want to work with. I haven't really had a bad experience with any of my coworkers. Work-life balance is also pretty great. It's up to you how much you work from home or from the office. The option to work part time is also a plus.

Cons

Unfortunatelly there are really not that many project opportunities. Yes, this is somewhat true for the whole sector at the moment, but Adnovum has been struggling with this for quite a while. It's easy to "get stuck" on a project, which is worsened by the fact the we have quite a few legacy technologies still in use. Having to invest you time into legacy frameworks or outdated libraries without the prospect of working on a new green field project feels like a career setback.
