      Pros

      Noble mission and a sense of making a difference; Competitive salary and office accommodation; If you can find the right people, there is a lot to learn from decades of industry experience.

      Cons

      Upper management communication is lacking, no decision transparency; Important topics are sometimes addressed with the most basic AI-generated action plans, lol; Delegation and managerial decisions are prone to be rolled back at the first sight of trouble; Internal culture is, at times, hostile. Typical office intrigue is surprisingly common if you ask around long enough.

      Pros

      The company spends a lot of money on events and parties which are fun to attend.

      Cons

      My experience with ESET has been extremely frustrating. Day‑to‑day decisions seemed driven more by internal politics than by performance or merit. Advancement and visibility often appeared reserved for a small inner circle, while strong contributors outside those relationships were overlooked or ignored. There is a persistent sense of nepotism and favoritism, which makes it difficult to stay motivated or believe that hard work would be recognized fairly. Transparency around promotions, pay, and leadership decisions felt lacking, and feedback was often vague or inconsistent. Over time, this environment eroded trust and morale. If you thrive in political environments or already have the right connections, you may do fine here, but for employees expecting a merit‑based, objective workplace, this can be a very disappointing experience. Would not recommend to professionals looking for fairness, accountability, or growth based on performance alone.
