Working for an empire
Pros: Salary is near the market average, lower than in smaller software companies, but this gets compensated by a very good job security and a excellent benefits package. The working environment is quite good, in general there are a quite remarkable good humor, and management is reasonable, excellent in occasions.
Cons: With time, it become quite political in the decision making, and too big, so a lot of processes are too difficult to get through. There is also this incredible amount of middle management who feels compelled to ask for information all of the time. They always show up in the photo when something goes well.
