Company to start your career in
Pros: Lots of trainings and development opportunities. Due to the high attrition and therefore rotation of people, there are growing opportunities. Good work is normally rewarded in the long term. 

Nice people, good ambient.
Cons: Due to the high attrition and therefore rotation of people, not always the best ones promote, so is likely to face managers and leaders with lack of people skills.

Overcontrolling company and tools. Lack of trust on people. Very low cost company. 
It is an IT company but IT works bad. Proprietary and free software is way worse than competition in most cases yet they force people to use it (Open Office)

People is not a priority. Work-life balance is damaged when you've some responsibility and want to do good.

Non competitive salaries and promotions. The best way to jump in salary is to leave the company and return, unless you ask for raises continuously.
