Unfair, the manager just focused on who he liked, not on performance

Pros

A good place to learn desktop-based software and code. Good benefits, especially if you would like to have children during that period. I think they provide very competitive benefits, however, the total income is just average, maybe below average.

Cons

Some managers have bad personalities and they just focus on their personal benefit, but not on employees and the company's. The software development process is too traditional. Some teams try to improve, but in the end, they still use what they are familiar with. The main reason is that there are so many old guys who control the entire team and their future.

Advice to Management

More transparent for performance review.
