Pros: Everyone is very talented. This applies to people in every single role, not just devs Interesting projects and technology Great culture, we are actively encouraged to experiment and innovate - management take this very seriously and drive a lot of this. Good pay and benefits Friendly colleagues

Cons: Security can be a pain. You get used to it somewhat and it is understandable but there are still a lot of times when you think "why can't I just do XYZ". There is still a lot of tech debt on older projects. The support rota can be stressful, but this varies a lot between teams.

Pros: Flexible time Good work-life balance Very bright people Management is respectful of its employees Almost unlimited budget for hardware Very good compensation and benefits Very resilient business

Cons: No working from home Strict security (although better than it used to be), oppressive sense of secrecy, lack of transparency especially around compensation; very corporate attitude Limited opportunities for growth and internal mobility A lot of legacy code and lack of new projects in some teams Rather hierarchical Lack of humility in some cases Not much diversity, most come from the same background

Pros: Well taken care of - not just salaries, also lunch great coffee, fruit, drinks, health insurance etc Generally high standards and smart colleagues.

Cons: Hard to get code released - overcomplicated systems, flaky dev environment. Security still insane
