Pros

Onsite canteen offers food for good prices. Private healthcare Work life balance On site Gym

Cons

Office location. The most basic pension. Career progression only happens when your superior leaves and that job needs to be filled. 2% yearly salary increase. No salary review. Bonus scheme is a false. It works on %s that you can't control so you can't ever get 100% of it. No investment in upskilling developers. No developer community. Only 1 team on site, all the other teams are abroad spread out across multiple countries so there is hardly any communication between teams and therefore knowledge is hardly shared. Loads of poor decisions. Contractors hired to own and run projects instead of helping out. Very little understanding of software development, its importance and how to do it right.
