Pros

In most positions the work / life balance is good and working hours are normal. Salaries are (including benefits/bonus) at the market average (the lower side).

Cons

Projects include really old legacy code (over 20 years old in many cases), often written in proprietary nokia programming languages, with no idea of modern software engineering. Management is in most cases completely non-technical, lacking experience. High attrition, developer's skills are not built up over time.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
