Pros

Nice office, flexible working time(in most of the projects), mainly good athmosphere(unfortunately not in every project). Preety decent salary for beginners. Technologies in some projects are good, but can be out of date in the others. Company offers standard but decent benefits pack.

Cons

Company is not a bad place to start Your career, but if You want to develop and learn, and You value good practices, clean code etc. You will not stay here too long. Company itself puts working code over good written code, so in the end many of the projects are managed poorly and the quality of product could be much better. Projects are flooded with unexperienced people, because they are simply cheaper. Computers that we get are terribly slow, and in many projects it is impossible to replace them with something decent. Company does not fire people, and unfortunately it creates perfect environment for lazy and incompetent people, that naturally affect Your work. In some projects athmosphere is terribly broken(f.e. constant mobbing and lack of respect from project managers - and You cannot work it out, since company does not punish people for such behaviour).

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
