Pros

- International environment - Flexibility to work (Depending of your team and department) - A lot of good people around

Cons

- Unbelievable slow (Even being "Agile wannabe") - Ancient tech stack - Decades of "Quick and dirty" now made everything much more complex to deal with - Habit of partially adopt methodologies (Eg: ORK) and distort the original intentions of it - Weak middle management layer. Managers have no experience neither the right support to... manage. - Blurry performance evaluation process. Managers constantly shift things to be positive or negative depending of score they want to give you.
