Pros

- You can work on a lot of project and learn very fast - Management helps if you feel bad in your current assignment (to a certain point) - Presence in the US and in the EU with (mostly long term) travel possibilities - Company values are strong and while you contribute to the growth of the company you will get you recognition - Extremely helpful colleges and a company culture that promotes knowledge sharing - C-level management is reachable and if you contact them with a valid point they will empower you to contribute - Work-life balance is all right. You are expected to be agile (can have late evening meetings with US clients), but most managers/team leads don't care when you arrive in the morning

Cons

- It's a consulting company - you are expected to constantly prove yourself to non-competent corporate mid-managers - Even thou there is an initiate to be an end-to-end consulting company, the main profile of the company is still body shopping - Can be very unstructured sometimes and it takes some experience to figure out your personal goals - The transformation from a small startup to a mid-sized company has taken a toll on the employee experience: company events are no longer fun (corporate style), very rare and low cost team buildings, no-dog policy (even thou the office building allows it) - Career advancement is non-transparent and quite limited - Struggles to keep up with raising Hungarian salaries

Pros

The Starschema company culture is pretty relaxed and you will be surrounded by smart and friendly people. They also have some cool clients both from the EU and the US.

Cons

Since HCL Tech's acquisition things are getting worse, the company is slowly losing its identity, transparency and flexibility.

Pros

Best people you can work with. Really. The whole atmosphere of the company is wonderful. Everyone is chill, helpful, great to work with. There are interesting (and not so interesting) projects.

Cons

After being purchased by HCL, a lot of processes changed, a lot of the benefits of being a small tech company changed to being a large organization. Feels like the Hungarian senior management doesn't have as much say in things as it should.
