Pros: Fantastic colleagues Low friction in getting things done

Cons: Some of the security measures are a pain. Communication from senior management is patchy.

Pros: The colleagues are very smart. New technologies are used. There are plenty of resources available for investment in anything that's needed, i.e., more computers for the cluster. The pay is good.

Cons: There are very strict security procedures. No working from home except for support. Support is a pain due to procedures around logging on from home.

Pros: Good benefits, mature stack, pleasant office environment, good teams with capable engineers

Cons: I was hit by layoff culture, which had made it harder to deliver long-term projects, and product management quality can vary wildly.
