Pros

Perks, free coffe,... needed to type at least 5 words in this field.

Cons

Custom systems with no market value. Stay long time and it would be difficult to work elsewhere. Security constrains are killing creativity. Layoffs are targeting older employees now. Don't count on retiring in this company. Salary used to be competitive but not anymore. Lies are tolerated from managers, which are constantly plotting how to take advantage / advance their careers by using you as a tool.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
