CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good assuming you can last the full 30 years.

Cons

If you’re on a team that has a bad manager then it is very frustrating and limiting both from a career development standpoint, a work life balance standpoint, and visibility standpoint (need to constantly show off what you’re doing and make it sound important and impactful)

Very good organization but less technical growth

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work culture, competitive pay, decent work life balance in most teams. unlimited sick leaves, Paid trainings provided, udemy/linkedIn learning subscription.

Cons

Limited or very less technical growth because most application are old. Business not interested in upgrading things until its out of support. Non technical roles like Business Analyst has more value then a technically sound person. They push technical people to take BA responsibilities. Dual management structure, you will have two manager - 1. Project Delivery Manager and 2. Resource manager. Many times both are not aligned together.
