Pros
Just the benefits, little better than the general market
Cons
This company has a very arrogant and cruel HR department. They only care about protecting the company. Every real issue that is brought to them is dismissed and with a revenge. If you are thinking about raising a complain, don't bother. They will just make your life miserable.
Advice to Management
Wake up, you are losing in good people and in reputation.

Pros
Perks, free coffe,... needed to type at least 5 words in this field.
Cons
Custom systems with no market value. Stay long time and it would be difficult to work elsewhere.
Security constrains are killing creativity.
Layoffs are targeting older employees now. Don't count on retiring in this company.
Salary used to be competitive but not anymore.
Lies are tolerated from managers, which are constantly plotting how to take advantage / advance their careers by using you as a tool.Advice to Management
Stop being so arrogant, there are better companies out there.
