Pros

You get pizza and coke almost every second weekend. Employees are helpful Stable organization for many years Good benefits Job stability

Cons

It's the absolute worst job for you if you are a happy person who likes to live his/her life and considers your job to be a job. This job will make you isolated from everything in your life. You don't have time to do anything apart from this job. I was there for 1 year and during this time, everyone around me was constantly under pressure, taking bathroom breaks as if it cost money, lacking sleep, and waking up at 4 or 5 am to finish tasks. The training is pretty bad, you learn barely anything and are thrown into the sea to deal with 5-6 clients at the same time after just being employed for a couple of months. I don't think I have seen such work pressure anywhere at all. I would not recommend this job to anyone unless this seems like an ideal work environment for you. Expect working overtime and weekends, and don't expect any overtime pay.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
