Pros
  • Good compensation
  • Stock options
  • Gifts from HR on seasonal events
  • Good opportunities if you're young and have the energy to work off-hours and want to develop corporate thick-skin
  • Good place to learn how to show off your work
Cons
  • Management indirectly suggests you work off-hours to receive recognition.
  • Bad tools to work on (maintaining/debugging MSSQL STORED PROCEDURES).
  • Huge politics influencing all levels.
  • Promotion Driven Development (Fix a pain point on an old solution, release the early feedbacks to get promoted, push the solution to another team when the requirements the old solution solved start popping up).
