Pros

Depending on the team little to moderate stress levels. Professional managers, realistic deadlines and interesting clients. Short to medium term projects, never assigned to boring projects for too long. Nice team culture.

Cons

Compensation not nearly as good as in banks and competitors, who keep poaching talented developers. Johannesburg's team not growing fast enough / stagnating. No drive to innovate, since clients (banks) don't desire cutting-edge technology. Little contact with software once it's been shipped to a client. More strict and boring processes put in place by ACI Worldwide Inc.

Pros

Global workforce, had the opportunity to meet some great people (enthusiastic, intelligent, loyal, hard-working) and the work can be interesting, although the project you work on is luck of the draw most of the time. Some 'exotic' travel opportunities (outside of the lab it's up to you to get out and about and away from the hotel)!

Cons

Somewhat drab office environment, and not much fun. Saying that though, there are a few bright sparks in the form of people so it helps make things better! You could work here for a long while, but you won't be exposed to much technology... so it's up to you to continue learning in some way, shape or form!
