Vantaggi

I was working at Globallogic in Krakow for 3.5 years. I was hired as a Senior Java Developer and later was promoted to the Lead position. The company offers various positions in different projects. If a project ends for some reason the employees will not be made redundant. In many (or even all) cases everyone has an option to find a position on the new project inside the company. I was working for the client from the USA and had only positive experience cooperating with them. I had an option to work not only with Java but with k8s, Docker, etc. My colleagues from the US were competent, cheerful and had always aimed to meet the commitments the team had. Therefore, they did their best to help you in case of any blocker or if you just stuck on some issue. Additionally, during my employment I had three business trips to the US (cities near Boston and New York) each for two weeks long. It is worth mentioning that they were not obligatory and of course fully paid by the company/client. Those trips were available for employees in all positions (BA, QA, Dev, etc.). In addition to the good salary the company provides employees with a decent social package (Luxmed, multisport, etc.). You can join their library where numerous technical books are available. Tech talks in different topics (Nodejs, Kotlin, k8s, Docker, elastic stack. etc.) are regularly organised by your co-workers. I also had a chance to organise one. The office is located near Bonarka city center which means that you have a large number of cafes to have lunch. Moreover, in most of them you have a 20% discount as you work for the company which is based at that business center. I used the discount even for the car wash and the service to change the tires of my car. It is easy to commute to work by bus or by car (there are a lot of parking lots in the business center or Bonarka). The office itself is great. It is new, regularly cleaned, well-equipted and with a few areas to relax (e.g. play video games or table tennis). Finally, although in the office you can meet people from all over the world, the atmosphere is just great - everybody is cheerful and I can't remember any act of discrimination. I left the company because I decided to work with a different technology stack. Therefore, when I got an offer that met all my requirements in terms of technologies and remuneration I made a hard decision to leave. I hadn't had not any issues with the management while working there or when I was leaving the company. I can totally recommend this company.

Svantaggi

I was working on VM which sometimes was annoying. However, working on VM had its benefits e.g. you could connect to it from your PC when was working from home. Anyway you get used to it fast and it does not affect your work. I can't remember that the website/resource that I needed was blocked on VM.

Vantaggi

Offered remote work. Other than that, nothing.

Svantaggi

Incredibly disorganized from onboarding to the recent mass layoffs of both contractors and full-time employees. The culture within the project I worked on was prone to toxic corporate politics, and the guidelines for the work performed were often vague and shifting. I can only assume this is indicative of the larger environment Gobal Logic cultivates, but it's hard to tell as their website includes nothing but word salad around what they actually do or the services they provide. Leadership constantly changed the goalpost meaning no one could truly learn or succeed. The airplane was being built as it was being flown, essentially. New tools were consistently introduced and then changed when it was found they were ineffective and the client was not being given the results they demanded. It almost felt at times as if the project was being internally sabotaged, though I'm not sure what the benefit of that would be. While not a scam, there is no hope of upward mobility, and you can be let go at a moment's notice. The instability and culture of fear they create is absolutely intentional, and you'd be better off working elsewhere for the sake of your mental health. I don't foresee this company having any tangible longevity given how poorly it's run.
