Pros

They follow a structured process, so many knowledgeable people to work with. Skill development and client visibility is awesome. Good work from home opportunuties

Cons

Too much of toxicity and micro management. Overtime work with no incentive Managers never solve the problem when there is one they just cover it up and have zero knowledge on the technical work that the team does but always have a say in the delivery date.

Pros

Variety of projects and opportunities to learn and hone new skills, enterprise licenses for AI products, standard benefits package with employee contribution to RRSP, remote work

Cons

Seldom requirements to work in Central European timezone, risk of being on bench, difficulty getting a raise or promotion despite having an excellent performance, a small raise could be rewarded for a stellar performance but that will never catch up with local inflation rate
