Pros

Great community and people (usually) Great for employees who are starting out in their careers or want a more steady, slow-paced career with good work-life balance

Cons

Some teams have not so good management (less work-life balance, micromanaging bosses, etc.) A lot of the legacy applications are poorly developed Innovation is not always a priority Most of the higher ranked positions are given to French Not so generous in compensation Required Work hours are longer than the standar 45

Pros

- Good work life balance. - Good atmosphere in my team.

Cons

- Salary is 30-40% under market, despite "above expectations" at performance reviews and consistent positive feedbacks. Run away if you're on a visa, they'll take advantage of you. - I agree with other comments, HR team is toxic, power play. - Slow. - Don't expect to be able to change things. - No IT culture, lots of manual tasks with low value added due to very poor IS. You'll spend half your time exporting data from legacy systems, manipulate the data and do low value added reporting. As an example, you need to go through a poorly designed UI to export a greek, and wait ~15/30min to proceed with another export. And you only have access to a quarter, so for a period of one year, it's 4 exports. Imagine having to export 3 different greeks over a year, that's 12 exports. - IT team couldn't whitelist yahoo finance endpoints after two years of back and forth with several IT teams.
