Pros

Worked on some interesting high profile projects and gained invaluable experience professionally that has helped me in subsequent jobs. Good software development practices are encouraged. Co-workers are generally of a good calibre. Multicultural working environment. Some nice perks like shopping discounts, medical expenses cover, excellent restaurant and free online training.

Cons

Team leads tend to micromanage a lot and don't give much flexibility. They are good technically but lack emotional intelligence. Software is fairly old. Recognition awards tend to be biased. Pay rises are pretty small. There were a lot of contractors during my time, most of whom had been there for years and years like resident staff, costing the company a ton of money. Having so many was myopic in my opinion.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
