Not one I can think of!
Svantaggi
Gloomy year 1970 office. Once you are in the development side of teams, you might feel that building should be demolished immediately. You will feel depressed after entering the building almost instantaneously. No cafeteria/pantry. No coffee machines. Dirty and smelly desks and chairs. Stinky toilets. Pathetic management. No idea how to run a software company. It's basically a media house having no clue about how a software company looks like. Shoestring budget. Stingy way of doing things. Micromanagement at it's best. This company is not for developers and architects. Don't think this is your regular software team and have usual way of working. One week sprints anyone? You are expected to deliver in one week and then demo along with bug fixes. Tons of useless meetings where they have no idea what they are talking about. Might be good for journalists - not sure as I had a different profile. HR is no where to be seen. Long long hierarchy. Managers have done management never before. And funnily, they accept it. Shift work mindset. Your hours will be clocked and even 5 mins is a real deal breaker. Was my worst decision ever to join this company. I won't recommend any technical guy to join this gig but if you are a reporter/journalist, it might be your dream company.
