Pros

There actually are worse companies out there, overall. This does not and will never justify the downsides.

Cons

The working environment is an open space with very poor furniture (less than minimal) and depressing lighting. Felt like a white jail cell without bars. Don't these guys get that an open space lowers the developer's throughput? I can only work at 10% capacity if I am in a crowded room. HR was an epic fail. During the interview process, they refused to let me see the office interiors and equipment. They also refused to tell me more about the project I would have been working on before signing a contract. If they had shown and told me before, I would have never joined the company. Although they offered a slightly salary than my previous company, everything else was way worse. It is definetely better to work on a project that I like in an office with a private (personal) room and desk than earning a little more money. I told HR (during the first interview) that I valued my own private space, that I had a private room at my previous company (which they were asking me to leave, as Fincons reached out for me, not the opposite). They told me not to worry about the interiors, totally underestimating my statements. At the time of writing, I work for a different company, I like the project I am working on and I have my own room, producing a lot more and learning a lot more. Furthermore, I like being a developer and I like writing quality software. At Fincons, it did not feel like we were producing quality software. It felt like if most of my colleagues were just "doing the bare minimum" to get their monthly salary. And I don't blame them for it, I'd blame the management. The IT support will most likely deny "ad personam" hardware or software license requests, even if those would make the developer life easier and his throughput (value to the company) higher.

Pros

You get a job, until it lasts.

Cons

They don’t stay to their word. If they can, they will fire you as soon as you’re squeezed and replace you with some new fresh human material.

Pros

Medium work / life balance. Friendly environment.

Cons

If you are young, smart and ambitious, avoid this place. No personal growth. No meritocracy. No career path. The get projects just because the get paid less than competitors.
