Andersen Lab reviews

The main issue is the lack of long-term projects. Developers often have to switch between short projects lasting 3-4 months with tight deadlines. Under these conditions, speed is more important than quality, which makes it impossible to write good code. Constant project changes hinder development: there's no time to think through architectural solutions and gain experience working on large-scale systems, which prevents the development of design skills and expertise in working with enterprise-level applications. Additional activities may go unpaid due to the lack of internal corporate grades for receiving bonuses, even though the extra work is performed with proper quality (for example, supporting a new developer on your project, often a junior who requires increased attention).

They made paid bonuses unpaid this year. Reasoning it with: In other companies you wouldn't get paid at all for that. Seek for unpaid labor, silly rules and stages in order to get your bonus. They gonna sell you as a senior when you are junior – it helps at the start but does affect the way you see yourself as a specialist. So, you are senior for the client but junior for the company because no way that Andersen shows you that you are worthy. If you are not doing 5+ free activities - no payment raise. Stupid feedback system where 3 -ok and 5 unachievable.
