Don't expect any promotions

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, flexible working hours

Cons

Horrible management and internal promotion system. Expect to stay for more than 4-5 years before getting a promotion (and a raise), especially if you are in a big team. There is also a quota for who can get a good performance rating for each review cycle, so if you're not the cream of the crop, be prepared to be rated badly.

Toxic Workplace

Pros

Learn a lot in a year, but tent to forget about the knowledge after I resign.

Cons

Toxic company culture. Toxic colleagues. Working slave.
