Pros

Big company, which is always nice to have on the CV. Lots of benefits, especially if you want to start a family. Multiple vacation days throughout the year.

Cons

Poor working conditions - underpowered laptop workstations with no extra monitors, noisy open-plan offices.

No mentorship or training for inexperienced developers.

Outdated development practices.

Lots of company spam / bureaucracy that gets in the way of the job.

Poor work-life balance - 10-hour days are generally accepted as normal.

Advice to Management

From my experience, there is serious technical debt, which reflects the need to put in extra hours.

Work smart, not hard.
