Pros
- Not too much bureaucracy comparing to average corporation makes daily work much easier and less stressful - Friendly colleagues, - Salaries and benefits on par with market average - Close cooperation between divisions makes problem solving better - Fast and very well organized interviewing process - There are some brilliant minds to work with, and people with great technical knowledge willing to share their knowledge with others, creating culture where everybody learns continuously
Cons
- It's a corporation, with all it's downsides, including dirty office politics - The company has a conservative culture, esp. some (not all) of the middle managers can be too comfortable in their roles, afraid of changes and innovative ideas. The company's policy is to stick to what has been already tested by other companies, and try to do it better, but they're not developing any groundbreaking solutions themselves. - Very sharp distinction between IT staff and others, that is visible in the way non-IT people are treated, including salaries. - Pressure to deliver without proper tools and resources to make it happen
