Pros

Benefits, remote work, flexibility in office hours, lots of trainings available

Cons

Full of people who got a promotion or two in their whole life and hence, would not promote talent below them. Company has no space for talented people. If you want a fast pace work and want to grow, either you should be in a very strategic team or in another company. No space for tech. Average age of employees is around 50. Most waiting for retirement and hence, dont wanna do something new. Some teams are doing great, but they are very rare. People misuse the WFH option and the productivity is close to zero. Most teams are dependent on vendors.
