Pros

- Private health insurance - Some side benefits(mobile phone purchase, training budget etc.) (While considering these don't forget salaries are low) - Good laptops - It might look good on resume - You might improve your English speaking if you're willing to

Cons

- First of all, if you are a competent software developer and you want to develop yourself in terms of software development, run away! - Don't expect challenging/good software projects, you will be end up with customization or integration projects, if you are lucky enough you may develop some automation projects(least-worst). - If you join old customization projects, you will use old tech stack that nobody uses anymore. - Bad codebase, a lot of if-else branching/null checking in codebase. And don't forget you will also add if-else branches, generally this is the job you're going to do mostly. - Old-school software development style. - Bad intro/training, even if you join old and complex projects don't expect any training etc. for domain knowledge. - Even if you are a developer, you will also do operational things like installing software etc. even though it is not your responsibility. - Getting promoted is hard.(not because of the assessment exam, even if you pass the exam there should be job openings etc.) - Because of the above reasons, don't expect competitive salary etc. here, you will be underpaid! Because they can easily substitute you with someone else(anyone who knows writing a method and if-else). - If you like to be in comfort zone, come here and enjoy your regular salary, you will be happy indeed.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
