      Pros

      Helpful people, liberate work-from-home policy, a bit higher than average salary, good visibility of work from outside - majority of projects are upstream. Good offices with (once a week) free snaks and free cofee.

      Cons

      Extremely low oportunities for advancement, moreover - it's, sometimes, actively discouraged, hard time getting salary reviews, big-enterprise attitude towards workers, engineers need to be able to do politics big time to advance their projects.
