Pros

A place to learn, grow and try things. You’re welcome at the beginning. Offer snacks. Flexible working hours and you can work remotely time to time.

Cons

You won’t get enough guidance if you’re a junior because of lack of knowledge in latest technologies. You need to figure out things by yourself. The company got acquired and it’s going through a transition which causes to lose its identity. You won’t get any bonus and your work won’t be appreciated no matter how hard you work. Bad decisions in middle management will make you suffer cause employees are held accountable at the end.

The pinacle of incompetence

Pros

- Free food - Salary and benefits can be decent

Cons

Pretty much everything else: - Company stuck in the past. They have no understanding of what they are doing and rely on a few key positions to get most of the work done. - Most employees there are either incompetent, very lazy or already looking for another job. I would say that 80% of the staff does not add any business value. - You will spend most of your time in useless meetings. By that I mean 25 people in the same room watching a PO learning JIRA live for 2 hours straight. - It's the first company I know with a web platform and no designer (or any understanding of what web design means)... seriously LOL. Even startups with 10 employes have a designer and this 200+ employee corporation says it doesnt need even 1. - No positive change in sight. Politics will keep the incompetent in charge, and the competent staff will just churn.

Pros

I heard that it was a good place before, maybe two years ago, but a lot changed.

Cons

More than five people left the company in a very short period of time !!!!!! I had to resign because there were conflicts in management (up levels) and I could not convince them of changes that I thought were necessary. The problem is that everyone is so ego-driven that does not even listen to others. The culture has changed, new employees are just not aware of any new shared values/goals that they can contribute to, nevertheless, it might have never existed in the first place! Too risky for seniors, no options to explore, no rewards for innovation.
