Pros

Usually good from technology point of view. Being a multinational outsourcing company, if you get bored with a project, you don't have to change the company just the project (in theory at least). Short projects are good to learn learn new things. Assorted colleagues, not much 'difficult personalities'.

Cons

Senior title also means less room for salary development later on! Being not obviously a senior, be conscious upon signing (or not signing) your job contract. Demand is yet high for IT professionals, negotiate shamelessly (salary, benefits). Three types of projects. Endless ones (processes and used technology settled for a long time which may not be good in a long term), short ones (like a vending machine - technology varies on a wide scale, may be great or terrible but you won't know in advance; you even may end up cooperating with colleagues from Russia who translate English using google) and internal ones (it is hard to keep up your enthusiasm). Tradeoffs everywhere. The 'old' office is like a huge and overstuffed shed. The air conditioning (oxygen content, heat and humidity) is terrible. The only company where I never had a real team building! (It is an important indicator, if you know what I mean.)

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
