Pros

Good pay and benefits. Good name in CV. Opportunity to build things for people all around the globe.

Cons

Development process is a total mess, developers spend most of the time in communication trying to clarify what exactly should be done. Tech stack is very outdated and attempts to improve it face bureaucracy and high-level people who're scared to change anything in the current setup and playing as gatekeepers. Job security... You know, there were 3 layoff rounds in 2023.
