Pros

Fixed work hours, no unexpected overtime Affordable cafeteria with hot meals

Cons

Toxic workplace culture. Power games and intrigue beyond everything, even project goals. Absolutely no respect towards employees, without regard of your value, experience, etc. Amateur management only cares about their ego. Constant danger of being fired for BS reasons. Employees must watch their every step. I was fired because I needed a placeholder image on a sample page and used a cat picture. This was a reason for immediate termination for "inappropriate and unprofessional conduct". A terrible waste of money and resources. A software project that'd be normally 2-3 weeks for a single person is implemented in 6-8 months. Time is wasted on endless and pointless meetings instead of meaningful work. Horribly disorganized project. Management is pitting teams from various competing talent agencies against each other - on the same project! "Security" is a major blocker day by day. We spent a whole month without computers until someone finally approved that we can get it. 6 months into the project we still couldn't run unit tests because it was blocked by the corporate proxy and nobody knew who's responsible.

Pros

The people are very good.

Cons

The tools and IT are way behind the times and HR is also very out of date. The engineering is in bad shape with little attention to tracking issues or optimizing equipment operations.

Pros

Excellent benefits. Stocks, bonus (10% average, up to 15% of salary depending on company/individual performance), vacation, pension, insurance, discounts at many places including cell carriers and car manufacturers. HQ is located right in the heart of downtown. Many places to eat around. You can be trained to become a train conductor if you wish. Teammates can be very friendly, even family like but it can vary. Excellent work life balance. Possible to work from home.

Cons

Not much internal promotions. Instead, they bring in from outside. Work can be slow and boring. Lots of bureaucracy. Lots of political battles. Lots of fighting over resources.
