Vantaggi

The compensation and benefits are good. The coworkers are mostly good people and always happy to help. You're rarely expected to do more work than you're able to at a sustainable rate.

Svantaggi

The nail which sticks up is hammered down. If you want to apply latest tech trends or grow in a tech career, forget about it. The company has grown complacent as the leader in its niche. The tech stack is 10-15 years old and will become a limiting factor for the speed of innovation, yet any suggestion for different ways of doing things is met with "we haven't needed it before, why would we need it now" or "we already had someone look into it and it didn't work". Promotions are meaningless yet difficult to get. They seem to depend on being friends with the right people, or having gone to the right schools. Don't expect managers to be interested in your career growth. People in EU beware: Upper management in the US considers the work done in some of the European offices subpar.

Vantaggi

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Svantaggi

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
