Pros

Stable and nice working environment, a bit of financial support when on maternity leave, good medical package and flexible time window during which one can come to work.

Cons

No budget for trainings and certifications ("budget" is "frozen"), low salary compared with other, smaller companies, software development is mostly maintainence of old software from Germany. Low salary is main cause for huge workforce rotation (and both lowering software quality and knowledge about systems we work with)

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
