Pros

- Ok salary - Looks good on a CV - Good work-life balance (I was never asked to stay overtime) - Free credit for equipment when you start and renewed every year

Cons

- No bonuses of any kind - DEI hell - Bad tech: many of the key websites I use every day are painfully slow - Management wants you in office even when you're working with teams overseas - Pay for everything in office: drinks, snacks, lunch - Office is far from everything and no compensation for transport

Pros

I think between all the free courses and mangers pushing for you to progress it can be a great place to grow your career.

Cons

The local culture has been negatively influenced by pressure that seems primarily due to a disconnect between the goals of agile development and what management wants.
