Pros

Well organized, structured development team, good processes & procedures. Good mix of development technologies and skillsets in team. Opportunities to work on diverse projects both small and large. Big DB work in SQL Server & Oracle. Very experienced team, great team dynamic, everyone is friendly.

Cons

IT training budget was almost non-existant due to tightened budgets at a regional level Very few opportunities to work 'outside the box' Teams are being outsourced, and all the work seemed to be going that way too when I left.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
