Pros

Good place to meet great software developers and to gain experience by working for some of the top companies in the automotive business.

Cons

Regardless of the leadership model that should be followed - during the last year Sofia's office is being managed in a way that made lots of great developers to leave the company. Just plain statistics - from 500 engineers for the year 2013 close to 100 have and will leave the company. The local higher management states that this is due to the payment levels but most of the people have left due to the hypocrisy of the engineering management. They never understood that Bulgaria is not India and if you insult a quality engineer he will leave the company and another at least ten more will follow him telling to all his friends never to think about going in an interview for that company. From a company with a very high rating two years ago now it is the last place in Sofia that a good software developer would prefer to apply to.

Pros

The benefits are good for the most part.

Cons

Overwhelming amount of tasks. Paying for company vehicle as a manager reduces your overall income. Made more money in the field. Overly competitive atmosphere within the company, No work-life balance, Nepotizm is ramped.
