Pros

Can't see any reason to work there.

Cons

Hero culture. People working evenings and weekends (not paid) to meet the deadlines and get praised for it. No time for coffee, lunch or simply to talk to the other people. No time for research. No new technologies to work with, no personal development plan, no training budget. Angry, judgemental software management. Developers blamed for management decisions. Bad chair and desk - complain ignored by HR on the first day, single 80's monitor, 8GB of memory, noisy environment. MoSCoW prioritisation but only "must have" items selected for development. "Agile/SCRUM" at its worst. No sprint planning, review or retrospective. No team work. Competitive group of individuals working on the same project. Pressure to deliver software within a time box followed by no work followed by more pressure. Developers pulled to do manual regression testing every month. No automated testing. No unit testing. "Best practice" agreed before writing any code often changes during development resulting in additional work/refactoring. Blame culture amongst developers and management. I have never seen development team having fun at work or outside of work.

Pros

- competetive salary - friendly, helpful coworkers (in the software team)

Cons

- office location - basic chairs (matching the microsoft basic mouse they give you) - 1 monitor - noisy office - unbalanced workflow, sprints not planned well - client driven development - minimal automated testing - requirements, designs not ready before the sprints - ad-hoc adding tickets to the sprint, but often you'll need to ask for something to work on (see point 5) - rushed development, no space/time to have a 10 minute break (see point 4) - rare team building events - setting too high expectation then realistic
