Dont apply here. - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso ValueChecker

Positive work environment. Multi-cultural international team of highly qualified colleagues. Small but international company that has been around for over 20 years. Ability to learn new skills quickly with strong focus on fast development and less focus on risk avoidance. The low rating for ValueChecker is unfair, probably caused by a few unhappy former employees. If you look at the facts like LinkedIn profiles you can see that many have worked here for many years.

There is opportunity to work on many different areas, since the team is small, like backend, and frontend, and dbabmin, etc...

They were supposedly hired for a reason beyond fixing bugs; which ironically happen mostly because of said decisions...
