Pros

nice colleagues, worklife balance, ability to talk about most things during 1:1s

Cons

Constantly broken promises, many managers are old fashioned about their vision of employee evolution, many say words they don't mean but that's the same everywhere around the corporate world, salaries are below market average and don't match the skills, after acquisition many benefits were gone and never replaced,
