Pros

great people in the team

Cons

very old technologies, standards used if you come up with an idea they tell you that you need to convince 1200 developers which is insane. is very difficult to change something regarding software, they don't allow it, except if you struggle a lot with it. to much bureaucracy no composer, no design patterns, no SOLID principles :(

Pros

Fun, casual, startuppish culture. Senior management is engineering-focused. Plenty of opportunity to move around, and up, to a degree. Friendly environment for women and LGBT folk.

Cons

Very Few holidays (4) Mostly fresh grads -> very cliquey (and promotions seem to be based on bro status) Working from home is discouraged. No family leave.
