Pros: Consider here if you want a work-life balance.

Cons: Office politics; need better soft skills if you want to climb higher.

Pros: Management focused on sustainable growth, which allays fears of sudden layoffs; and management talks with employees both through town halls and one-on-one meetings with your direct manager. It also has a clear career path. Specifically about the experience of developing software, it is nice that the software is of importance and the reasonable freedom we have to tackle issues. I would also posit that the company is directed towards modernization of both the actual developed software and the tools used in making it.

Cons: As would be expected from a long-running and large company, some of the software is legacy and not all of it is in the same languages, which can cause a bunch of headaches.

Pros: - A chill environment - An interesting project

Cons: - Not much in job advancement - Lots of discussions before proceeding with tasks - Old tech
