Pros: - Fun and dynamic environment. - Free beers

Cons: Senior level and above seems unqualified, either in ethics or competence aspects. Good people have been leaving since the mass of unqualified members devalued them. Bad management promotes unqualified people and mistreats real contributors, creating dysfunctional teams beyond repair. Good people are leaving, effective teams become crippled, and dedicated people stop contributing since their efforts were spat upon by uneducated leaders and managers. All value is fake. The CEO dares not speak the truth in front of the engineering staff. No wonder. Either he does not know or he does not dare to tell the truth. Same message.

Pros: You want to explore Australia's top-tier tech company. Free snacks, drinks, and ice creams if you don't mind gaining weight. Business seems to be steady even when the environment seems to be more toxic every day.

Cons: The inside might not quite be what you are expecting. Hard work is not rewarding here; in most cases, I know it's rather punishing. Try not to do anything that upsets people who outrank you. Instead, try to provide them with the solution ready and demo it as easily as possible. The credit is theirs, but you'll be able to avoid pain in the future and hopefully switch teams when you are too sick of the status quo of your current team. It's a mediocre nine-to-five job. Do not bring your laptop home, and do not work extra hours. After a few years, I felt it was extremely unethical of me to encourage junior developers to contribute, even if they loved to. Nothing good will come of it. Instead, learn from the bad patterns here and invest best practices in your own projects to prepare for your future jobs. Performance reviews and pay raises are often incomprehensible. Due to the level of education, worthwhile contributions are ignored in favor of political goals to maintain benefits for certain people.

Pros: Good salary package. Coworkers. WFH.

Cons: Recent culture changes: Codebase is very complex.
