Pros

Its a great company with a rich history and lots of potential. Its a hugely profitable business fulfilling a very genuine customer requirement. The work life balance is good.

Cons

Lack of vision and proper execution on management's part. Too many turf wars The technology stack is just outdated making upgrades and new features almost impossible

Pros

- Good career growth opportunities. Do a good job and you will get promoted regularly. - Decent compensation packages, but you have to ask for it - Decent work / life balance, but you have to be willing to stand up for yourself and make sure you have a good understanding of you responsibilities with your manager.

Cons

- Slow and frustrating development process. Way too slow for a web company. - Too focused on profits with a lack of empathy for the end users. Lots of user research and testing is done, but unfortunately the results are often ignored. - Too many 'empire builder' directors just trying to build the biggest teams.
