Pros

Absolutely no pros here & hence can't think of anything.

Cons

Many, the glassdoor space is too less to list all. They are big time fraudsters, just hire people to eventually fire them. Absolutely brainless incompetent maniacs. The parent unit Danske Bank in Denmark is under scrutiny for world's biggest money laundering act of $200 Billion. Their Indian counterpart Danske IT, already struggling with reviews on glassdoor and people not willing to join them, have now resorted to fake reviews and posting jobs under the disguise of Danske Bank who have better rating than them in an effort to fool candidates and make them join Danske IT and not Danske Bank which is headquartered in Copenhagen. Please Beware guys of their propaganda. Better to stay away from this firm or your career gets ruined just like many other victims out there.

Pros

* Good work/life balance * Decent compensation package * Good hardware Note: Definitely not all teams suffer from all the cons mentioned below, but unfortunately some do.

Cons

* Job didn't align with the role that was presented during the interview * Slow and cumbersome internal processes - it took weeks to get relevant software and access rights set up, and little relevant work could be done in the meanwhile * Generally built around stale technologies with little motivation to innovate or move forward * Bad ad hoc architecture and a rotting codebase with a lot of debt accumulated over the years - and no incentive to improve things (partly due to a justified fear of breaking things) * A lot of churn by developers in the team * Minimal and stale documentation and little motivation to improve it - combined with the above, there were many odd edge cases in the system that no one understood * Very noisy and old office * Minimal communication between different teams * Unnecessary bureaucracy when deploying code * A lot of coworkers with little motivation to do anything but what was minimally expected of them * Lack of well defined development processes * Minimal unit test coverage, no code reviews, etc. * Micromanagement * Less than optimal facilities for remote work (via a noticeably slow Citrix connection) * Overly strict network policies and firewall/proxy
