Pros

Most of the people are nice, the two yearly company parties are nice. If you have a good manager, you will be fine.

Cons

Company full of politics and processes, they don't care about the employees, no real flexible time if you work in agile, agile is badly implemented in some teams, most of the managers are really bad in their jobs.
