Good Balance, Dated Tech

Pros: Good work-life balance, some interesting projects and technologies, but that depends on each team. Good internal trainings to grow as a professional.
Cons: Some very old technologies and legacy code. Nothing cutting edge. Old architects are reluctant to change some things. Development infrastructure is quite messy.

December 19, 2012
Pros: - Exciting products.
- Very smart people to work with.
- Given independence in the tools that I can work with.
- So many perks like food and beer.
- So many social activities, like Melbourne Cup and EOFY parties.
Cons: - You can get left behind by everyone if you don't blog regularly. No one will notice you're there.
- They claim that they're an open company, but there are so many secrets. Some people are kept in the dark about things they want to know.
- Management isn't interested in career development. It's very hard to move to another position that you're more interested in. They'd rather hire new people.
