      Pros

      Work environment, opportunity to get technical experience, nice benefits. Good pay on management level.

      Cons

      A lot of management layers. Work scope is very narrow. Slow promotions. Large dependency on direct a manager, less team work. A lot of non-profitable projects. Much waste of money to unnecessary efforts in coordination within projects.

      Great Place to Work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They treat employees really well. Goals are very clearly defined and it's easy to track your progress. Your managers want to help you grow your career.

      Cons

      There is a lot of group-think and an unspoken requirement to drink the cool-aid. Communication doesn't always happen in the appropriate channels so it's easy to become disconnected.

      Stagnant job

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You would neither need to be smart nor need to think algorithimically. Good for people who cannot get a job anywhere else.

      Cons

      Most of the things are just process related rather than about problem solving or creativity. like writing different frameworks again and again with exactly the same functionality. Job is stagnant most of time with almost zero growth. No compensation raise most of time. even if it raises its only about a mean 100$. Stagnation does not even mean a secure job, since there have been random layoffs continuously. Stock price is constant.
