Pros

Benefits are okay, but not outstanding

Cons

Typical outsourcing company. I've been lied to. A lot. They told me that the project I'm about to work on is "greenfield". Turns out it's a 20+ year-old bank project. They kept lying after this came up. Salary is very low, especially that they get a lot of money for one developer. Senior management is abusive and trying to show dominance. No option to work from home.

Pros

- Good work/life balance - Very good team spirit

Cons

- Poor salaries and benefits, - Unfair contracts with the employees (active abuse of dominant position), - Senior management and even line managers don't really care about their people, - It is very hard to change the career path within the company, - Once you got a normal salary it will be almost impossible to get promoted to a higher level of salary.

Pros

- Amazing office with nice extras. - Good location. - Transparent requirements for promotion.

Cons

- Work day is 8.5 hours long, and it is calculated automatically. 8 hours on paper, but 30 minutes of "mandatory lunch break" is always subtracted from your work hours, even if you finish lunch faster. - Job insecurity. When you're hired, you go on a "bench", you're not actually working. You have to go to further job interviews inside the company, and then with their clients too to start working. Until you land a "productive" job, you're a liability. The same happens when your project ends.
