Pros

OK pay, but it really depends on your initial offer and how visible your team is.

Cons

- Career development is minimal unless you're in a high-visibility or Poland-based team. After years in a US-based team, I had no clear growth plan. - Outdated & short-sighted tech decisions and lack of long-term technical vision. - People were brought in with questionable skill levels for higher positions, which impacted morale and fairness. - Some interns remained for years without structured paths to full-time roles. - Foreigners in Warsaw office were finding it very hard to connect and network. - Advancement is driven more by internal politics and visibility than by actual performance. A tight-knit internal clique limits opportunities for those outside of it. - Senior leadership in Warsaw was often visible only to favored teams/people. In several years at the company, me and my team were ignored constantly.

Pros

Excellect company culture, beautiful offices, very good compensation and benefits, amazing opportunities for professional development

Cons

Very fast paced and innovative with high expectations, if you aren't a fast learner and highly adaptive you won't last here. It's a hedge fund so be prepared for some serious egos, but generally speaking the people are quite nice. They don't have a CFO, so it sometimes feels like central coordination/strategy is lacking to the back office finance function.
