Pros

The pay is good There are plenty of skilled people The working hours can be flexible Remote work is also a nice option

Cons

There are a lot of philosophical, political and technical silos and lack of cross-functional communications. Individualism is valued high. Work tasks are assigned unevenly, burning specific individuals, while others stand by idle. Project planning is not cross-functional causing technology explosion. There is no "we" in "me". Nobody cares about self improvement, retrospectives or team building.

Pros

Excellent 401k matching (if you stick around long enough for it to vest) Employer-paid benefits Work with a highly regarded application framework (Qt)

Cons

Crappy work-life balance benefits, very uneven (EU gets 5 weeks of time off, USA gets 2 weeks) Not a team-oriented environment. USA (sales) vs EU (engineering) Sucky IT policies (bordering on paranoid) Cheap on salary. Big split in corporate culture: open vs closed source. Business mission flawed. Work office was often empty, very little team cohesion, lots of passive-aggressive behavior by management and colleagues. Outsourced HR and IT

Cons

clueless managers too much politics and high school-clique culture Too much Estrogen in the air No real mission or clear business objectives and long term vision Free product is so good few customers wants to pay for the supported version (like trying to sell extended warranty to Honda owners)
