Pros

I’ve learnt a lot. That’s for sure. By the project you are assigned, you may improve yourself on e-commerce platforms, Java, .Net or even PHP based projects. You can also improve yourself in some agile project management. Which also improve your English verbal communication skills. There is an opportunity to improve yourself by using Online Courses like Udemy.

Cons

If you’re a junior, there are so much thing to can learn. The project you are assigned (e-commerce, .Net, Java or PHP) and the team members will help you improve yourself in software skill topics. But by the time past, you will understand you’re doing the same thing over and over again. For those who wants to learn something new like NodeJS, Redux or Elastic, this may not the place for you (of course there are some project which you can use these but you may never be assigned to them). The position you are applying and the project you are assigned, usually they don’t match. So you apply for “Java Developer”, but you may end up being assigned to some e-commerce project which you have no idea about the platform at all. So there will be hard times warming up your new project. And good bye to your old skills. There is definitely equality problem between the teams and members. If you get along with the management team, you will get what you desire ( Raise Percentage, PC hardware, etc). If not, you are doomed. Good Luck. Happy hour on every Friday with limited beverages. So be quick or you will get nothing :)

Pros

People are generally friendly. You can learn about some private enterprise level platforms which you can't find anywhere else. You can learn and experience agile project management but it depends on the project that you are assigned. Happy hour every Friday with beer and snacks.

Cons

Limited room for self-development. Tasks are getting boring after some months. Okay salaries, it would be expected to get paid better than common agencies or companies in the area. Some transparency issues in company. Management forbids employees to share their salaries with their colleagues. Company decisions are made without feedback from anyone. Long office time, expected 9.5 hours to be at the office with 1 hour lunch time. Far away from city center, traffic issues most of the time.
