Pros

Great salary, tons of time to learn and improve yourself. 20 days of vacation standard and you can take all as early as 1st of January. Also usually the life balance is good.

Cons

Management is very closed minded and struggles with agile. They will say they are a bank everytime you propose something new or a improvement. Also your experience varies widely depending which manager you have. Some are very strict and against home office. Not so easy to change teams as they say, you can get backslashed. Almost everything is self funded, which contributes to a very poor team building.

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!
