Pros

Pay on the 1st ea mo, have a good budget for equipment, social benefits good, lunch partly subsidised.

Cons

Processes are slow moving, you cant change anything, bonuses are infrequent and far in between and depend on too many external factors rather than company performance or your own performance. Pay raise 10% once in 2.5 years. Worked from home (2-3 days a week) when covid started but called back into office full time in 2020 and no WFH ever since. Sometimes it feels they skim and cheap on their employees they could give so much more but decide not to.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
