Pros

Colleagues are good and helpful. Legacy code base, but good to learn. Global customer base gives good exposure to global engineering practices.

Cons

CEO will ask what a junior QA is doing. Micromanagement is understatement when the CEO is doing your immediate manager's job. Politics is worse than Game of Thrones. There's no increments for the past five years. Work life balance doesn't exist - work is life.
