Pros

Developers have room to explore and propose new technologies and paradigms and apply them on actual implementations, which is something most developers crave for in a job. Some teams have a really good working environment.

Cons

Facilities are call-center like and not at all comfortable. Development leaders tend to be chosen by their technical skills almost exclusively, not taking into account whatever soft skills they may have for team management. Poor communication from upper management thus information flows are mostly informal: by the time an official announcement is made (if ever) all the company already knows about it.

Pros

Great place to learn and build yourself as a professional.

Cons

Very bad salary, by far lower than the average. Some people get promoted by being friends with the leaders. The environment is not so friendly, and if you're a woman you will receive a lot of sexist comments, including men judging how you look.

Pros

Great working environment and people.

Cons

Wrong seniorities marks: Juniors that have ssr/sr responsabilities and sr/ssr that should be juniors.
