Pros

Good place to start your career as a junior software engineer. Lots of training available, lots of options for different teams you can work on, different programming languages and technologies. Pretty good benefits especially for retirement. Very chill work culture and good WLB on most teams. Nice people, I made some good friends here.

Cons

Pay and raises are low compared to competing employers. Sometimes you may have to work with low quality legacy code. Communication between teams is mostly good, sometimes bad. Sometimes the work culture is a little TOO chill: there are some people here who coast and get away with low performance. If you're a high performer, you'll likely grow out of this company. Risk of layoffs or other big changes like any other company.

The pay could be a lot better as the world gets more expensive our pay should reflect that.
