Pros

Positive atmosphere, average salary, trainings. Best place for fresh graduate and those who have little experience.

Cons

Usually people are stuck in their starting positions with very low chances of increasing salary. Management and processes outdated and rarely change. For professionals nothing to do and nothing to implement, everything is happening slow, hard to make a decision or implement changes.
