      Pros

      Complex architecture and challenging business logic.

      Cons

      To much politic. It`s often very hard for scrum members to have access to end user to get clear requirements. Information controlled by insecure senior manager preventing effective and optimal solution development in an agile way. This is not a work environment where you will have the change to try new technology. The tech stack is relatively outdated caused by the very heavy proprietary structure to maintain. Senior manager often prefer known old solution to open source ideas not yet approved by the firm. Many projects needs a lot of production support making new development often very challenging.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
