Good starting carreer before you realise how cheap you are :)

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company for starting carrier (first couple of years). Highly focused on low cost (we are taking off free coffee becasue we need to save many, few years later - oh, coffee is back, wtf?). Demanding job with increasing responsibilities not reflected in salary.

Cons

Not best place to work with if you want to work to your fullest potential. Management decisions focused mainly on lowering cost instead of making emploees feel comfortable and motivated.

It depends on the line manager

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours, fix salary, you'll learn the difference between coding and product development. If you are lucky, then you can work on interesting projects and really good people. After a few years you can be quite autonomous.

Cons

Some projects are boring, same day, same things to do. Other projects can be chaotic and politics driven. Good luck finding the one you like. Some line managers are not doing what they expect from engineers: doing what they are paid for.
