Pros

If internal employee, getting fired is unlikely

Cons

-2nd class citizen (IT) -higher management without any technical experience, day-dreaming about change -Product owner acting like bottlenecks in team, micromanaging -you will be challenged on common sense stuff (ie. why do TDD, create monoliths) -a mountain of paperwork and bureaucracy for releases -CD/CI in shambles -Sloppy, manual testing, almost zero automation -Never get to work on interesting stuff, always distracted with meaningless tasks -Analysts don't speak with devs for requirements, but with semi-gods product owners -going to extremes to avoid regression testing impact -resulting in code duplication, and bad design -no interest to adopt new technologies

Pros

Big company. Long history. Good mission on paper. Much money. Good ideas with bad realisation. Good scope of technologies that could be used in right way.

Cons

Stupid security system - you spend a lot of time to get software for work, but you can get approve for anything unsecure also. Legal department marked that I had a problems with the law, but I haven't any and I couldn't change it. Silly trainings at the begining. They spend a lot of time for meetings. Managers tries to make task instead of developers and engineer must to fix it after them. They respect only managers. I had 4 managers at the same time. And every asked me every hour "How it's going?" Scrum? Agile? Friendly atmosphere? Forget about it.
