Pros

Good work-life balance.

Not much stress.

Excellent co-workers (willing to share knowledge).

Correct salary until 2008 (a little bit more than industry average).

Flexible working hours.

International projects.

New technologies.

Cons

After 2006/2007/2008, everything went south: frozen salaries, no new projects (only long-term maintenance projects), inadequate middle management, and almost no new employees.

Career change can occur only by chance, not by hard work.

Career tracking is absolutely useless (professional achievements do not influence anything: salary, promotions, etc.).

Constant reorganization (but only on paper – in reality, nothing was changed).

Inflexibility.

Best engineers started leaving the company (no replacement for them, not even interns).
