Pros

You're working for a top software company, so it's nice to have on your resume.

  • Fair salary (but you're going to be overworked with no OT pay, so not really).
  • Good HMO.
  • They provide good work equipment.
  • Fun activities when in the office, but that was a team initiative.
Cons
  • Boring work. If you expect that you will be handling Java in this company, there's a high chance that you won't. Most likely, you will be dealing with proprietary tech, and in the worst case, you might even have to rely on a slow IDE on a VM to work on it. Debugging will be a headache because you won't find solutions on Google.

  • It starts fine during training, but once you're in the project, there's no work-life balance. There were many times that I did not sleep due to releases, and there was no overtime pay.

  • Pressure from work will burn you out.
