Pros

*The Team I am a part of is incredibly helpful, the supervisors are caring and understanding of both our time and effort, and seek to help us in any way that they can *The colleagues are very friendly and are always willing to assist and show you how to improve or teach new skills *The benefits are standard and flexible, depending on your manager *Managers encourage you to apply for in-company job offers and seek to assist you in progressing through your career ladder

Cons

*From what I hear, it's a toss-up if your team is gonna be filled with nice people or not *The amount of work can drastically increase within a day, and communication with other teams can be frustrating at times as some colleagues don't seem to understand the workflow quite as well *The raise was minimal, even though two colleagues performed best out of the whole team, the whole team only received a 3% pay increase, instead of the supervisors choosing who would receive it (though this is new only happened once in the last couple of years)

Pros

No micro management Good people to work with Good benefits Very good work life balance Fair pay everyone wants more money though

Cons

Like all massive companies there's a lot of red tape. Teams are disorganized as is usual with massive companies. Work isn't super difficult if you're a junior dev you won't learn a lot as a lot of the work is already done. As in a lot of libraries already exist to use in front-end so not a lot of challenge and you won't learn a lot. As in you won't be building things out from scratch you just Re use existing code and libs. Backend is the same, not a lot of complicated work. Pretty straightforward work for both front end and Backend. Basically, you're put in a box and don't get to learn new technologies as there's teams for everything. You can ask to work on stuff of course so that's good.
