Pros

There’s very little left to appreciate. Benefits decrease year after year, salary increases continue to shrink, and bonuses have become less rewarding.

Cons

Employees are often expected to work evenings and weekends without additional compensation. There is also an expectation to adapt to clients' time zones, despite contracts specifying standard working hours (9–5). Benefits vary significantly between countries, creating a sense of unfairness among employees. Additionally, goals and deadlines are often unrealistic, with constant pressure to move from one project to the next without adequate time or resources.

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
