Pros

It’s a perfect place for someone who just want to have their 9-5 done, and leave work absolutely behind outside of working hours. Opportunity for growth can be there but on an extremely slow manner. If you get a good manager, you’re lucky and you can change the world. The pay is locally good. Outside of the borders worth nothing. People usually nice and approachable.

Cons

I only list the most important ones: - slow career development - things will only change very-very slowly - westerner agenda brainwashing every day - meaning you have to take classes, courses, and write it in your quarterly and yearly reports how you contribute to the DEI… (some people are ok with it) - very ignorant leadership

Pros

Salary, bonus, FTO (depending on what team you are in), benefits

Cons

No option for part time, limited flexibility, requirement to work from office 4 days, no path to promotion if you are not "in" with the managers, introvert or do not manage people, long hours, one blackrock only expected with some teams others seem to get away with hands off approach and issues to be picked up by other team
