Pros

I worked on a single project for the duration of the internship. The project was managed well, and my internship mentor made sure I knew everything I needed to build the project, and that I had enough time to do write-ups, produce presentations and the like.

Cons

A lot of the technologies the company used were hardly the best thing for the job. Some of them were result of a poor decision somewhere up the line. Others were a good choice some years ago, but slow decision-making prevented them from being replaced. Getting things done took a long time. The fact that the database team was in Australia while I was working there meant that changes to the data model took several days to implement (thankfully, they were fairly cautious and didn't implement changes without testing - however, it did make things take longer). The technical culture was interesting, and not in a good way. I was invited to a yearly 'developer conference' where teams that were developing tools for use by other developers in the company gave updates on what they were making. Why I should rely on a yearly conference to learn about the most important tools for my job is beyond me.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
