Pros

Excellent working environment within the team; development team is well guarded from outside interference by the company's inherent hierarchical structure; excellent pay raises in the first few years your starting your career (40%, 20%, ...); workgroup was very open to new ideas even from someone fresh out of university; a great place to start your career; excellent work/life balance;

Cons

Working environment gets very formal very fast as soon as you start contacting outside your own team; low starting salaries compared to the rest of the IT industry (which is inevitable given the large pay raises you get in the first years); performance appraisal and evaluations is tampered with by the financial staff, since evaluation is directly tied to bonuses; IT is a extremely small share of the company's business, so don't expect "change-the-world" projects;

Pros

This is a big company and I have not seen any layoffs since 7 years. It is possible to move from one department to other. Diversity is really good.

Cons

No growth in the career. Lot of old people and young people also become old people soon after they take the position in the company. Lot of politics and routine work.
