Pros

- Less and less over the years, the more you stay, the worse it gets for you - Semi-remote work, which means that you are guaranteed full remote, but on certain projects the client dictates, so if they want you to work from office, you will! - There are many different projects with different tech stack - There is a home office supporting compenastion (small amount, but still it is something)

Cons

- Salary related compensations in the past few years are almost completely lacking, they are nowhere near follow the inflation, new joiners get way better opportunities - It is close to impossible to get a pay rise, you need to have very exceptional performance.. - The office is very poorly equipped - Interviews within company to get to a certain project, which does not benefit you at all, unlike when you interview for another company - Compensations / benefits are not expanded even though they could be - It is difficult to rotate between projects, there are not enough to pick what stack you want, they can't tell you the exact exit date when you get rolled down from a project - Some project can lack flexibility, team lead role can be filled by senior devs, who are unexperienced, not fit to handle people, only good with the tech stack - It is hard to stay on the same project for years, and it means that you need to switch context fairly often, you do not get the comfort on a certain project, which can be stressful
