Pros

- Good company benefits - Work life balance but depends on your team culture as well. - Get to learn many new technologies.

Cons

- Increments is range about 2% to 4% only, sounds common in Europe but not in other high inflation countries. - Too much unnecessary meetings and reviews. - Testing environment is sharing, no dedicate environment for the team most of the time and is time consuming to reinstall every time when need to use. - Still need to maintain some legacy product which using old technologies and codes can be messy and hard to trace. - Need to familiar with many products to understand the solution that company selling to customer which might take years to master. - Support workload is huge and need to fix some critical issues within short time frame. Tedious work to support many old versions of the same product.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
