Only Positive Impressions from Interacting with Andersen
Pros
I want to start by saying that my values and approaches align very well with the values and processes used in the company. So, my worldview matches the reality here, and I don't face any issues in my work. I believe Andersen is a great place to start career. They have their own training school that provides not only theoretical but also practical skills, along with opportunities to work on real projects. Additionally, there's room for growth and development in any direction. The company offers a personalized development plan, tailored to individual needs, allowing for long-term planning. There's also a resource management department that aids in professional development. Regular salary reviews are conducted as well. I also want to highlight the people working in the company, the Warsaw office has gathered an incredible team of professionals. Another big plus is that Andersen handles all the paperwork for employment, which is very helpful for visa applications. The company does a lot for the IT sphere, organizing meetups, conferences, and exhibitions, facilitating knowledge exchange with colleagues from other companies. I also want to mention that the company consistently gathers feedback and implements good practices based on employee suggestions.
Cons
I can't say these are necessarily negatives, they are just characteristics of working in an outsourcing/staffing company: frequent project changes, a lengthy communication chain to resolve issues, and average or slightly below average salary levels. Lack of extra benefits such as paid lunches/dinners. Additional assessments like the Gorilla test create more stress than benefit.
