Do NOT go here. Bureaucracy and really bad internal culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

You can negotiate a decent salary, but there are places where you can earn more. The company will never fall.

Cons

90% of time is wasted on bureaucracy. There are some bright minds but most people around are busy with their job safety and absolutely will NOT share any knowledge with you regardless how you approach them. You can't get your tried and tested developer's tools (IDEs, etc.) due to cybersecurity. "You have a command line, so do your job." Most software development projects are petty because nothing modern nor complex can be done in such an environment. Remote work is impossible for cybersecurity reasons. If you are a software developer, do NOT go here.
