Pros

A paycheck. Free coffee. Genetic brand Cereal at the cafeteria.

Cons

Management gets recycled every 5 months, tops. Unrealistic deadlines and expectations coming from ignorants or inexperienced. Most of the management doesnt understand complexity of anything they are looking at, nor care. Numerous teams working on the same thing, never even care to cross paths. Never before worked for a company where employee meant so little, at all levels. HR without any backbone, just blindly following orders from the above. Changing direction every Monday. Overall a very demotivating place.
