Pros
  • There are lots of additional benefits (like health insurance, gym discount, parking space, work cell phone).
  • Very nice office, good workplace, comfortable chairs and tables.
  • Training and conference possibilities. We have unlimited access to lots of training sites (like ACloudGuru, Udemy, and so on).
  • Stock options.
  • Family-friendly environment.
  • Experienced colleagues.
  • Yearly bonus.
Cons
  • Not a software company, thus the software development and DevOps culture is missing.
  • The business wants fast solutions, and they don't care about the usability of the outcome (web application). 'Just make it work ASAP' mentality.
  • High-level management is often incompetent for making lower-level decisions, but they don't listen to development teams.
  • A lot of politics is going on between departments.
  • Below-average salaries (this is somewhat compensated with bonus and other benefits mentioned above).
