Pros

Most people within the company are very nice, Lots of senior people really know their stuff, A wide variety of potential software to work on, OK policy around time off

Cons

Very low salaries compared to elsewhere in tech, especially once you have a few years of experience, 40-hour work week, Easy to just blend into background and get overlooked for promotions or moving teams, Lots of aging technology and slow processes, although this varies drastically across teams, Archaic and slow promotions process with lots of bureaucracy, Middle management largely surplus to requirement,
