Pros

Good company benefits.

Work-life balance, but it depends on your team culture as well.

Get to learn many new technologies.

Cons

Increments are in the range of about 2% to 4% only. This sounds common in Europe but not in other high inflation countries.

There are too many unnecessary meetings and reviews.

The testing environment is shared. There is no dedicated environment for the team most of the time, and it is time-consuming to reinstall every time when needed for use.

We still need to maintain some legacy products that use old technologies and code, which can be messy and hard to trace.

We need to be familiar with many products to understand the solutions the company sells to customers, which might take years to master.

The support workload is huge, and we need to fix some critical issues within a short timeframe. It is tedious work to support many old versions of the same product.

Advice to Management

Need help to cut back support workload, and increments should follow the local inflation rate.
