Pros

You can learn some old stuff. Nowdays, the management started to switch towards new technology, despite of the fact it is terrible slow.

Cons

Chaotic management. Even the lead don't know what to do, but they don't any information to allow us to solve, they don't want as to think, just do what they say even if there are many argument against it. On meeting the lead realise many work was unnecessary or even a blind path. It happens a lot of time they start to debate about the right path. Old technology and it is hard to accept new software if you prefer that one. Seriously, it is hard to believe, that the management doesn't even know new things. I don't want to tell things what question they ask when it comes to something technical, many of us questioned are they really programmers or some managers with good positions in America. You are always in a hurry, because of this chaos. Yeah, one more thing to mention because it is outragous. You have to tell 2 weeks before you go holiday, but when you do so they just don't track the system or even if you tell them they forget it and when you go on holiday you are blamed like hell. That part is really outrageous because you feel like you are threatened to go on holiday.

Pros

nothing much really I totally wasted my 4 years of my time (2012 to 2016) , I still regret why I signed the offer back in 2012, Directors are blind and dont give ... about their staff , nothing Positive to talk about really ...

Cons

worst company to work for ,low wages,0% bonus for my entire period (4 Years 2012 to 2016) ,0% pay hike for my entire period ( 4 years 2012 to 2016) , management dont want developers moving from Belfast o London (High Paying Place),Tier 2 employers are treated like slaves.technology is ... just application support really not much innovation, if you are young and dynamic stay away from Citi Belfast , try to get into Citi London at least you will be on the high end salary.
