Pros

Takes employee safety and health seriously and in priority Great benefits Lots of projects Security is strictly implemented Fun teammates

Cons

No career growth without switching teams/departments Heavy politics & security policies weighing down team delivery & efficiency Project approvals are not just (approves projects despite high effort low benefit) Unreasonably high overhead tasks due to inefficient & poorly studied team process/standards implementations No technical leads resulting to poor team decisions due to lack of technical perspective Knowledge/Systems Access hoarding UAT delay leads to multi projects assignments max(3) 1 developer per project (strongly against multi dev projects)
