Pros
  • Contact with business
  • Team spirit (developers usually help each other)
Cons

• Work-life balance is awful. • A lot of people have low technical skills; some of them are not even from the Computer Science field. • Crazy deadlines. • Usually, poor code quality, very difficult to maintain. • Poor management. • Poor training. • Poor working environment. • Poor tools for developers (screens, mouses, keyboards...).

Advice to Management

Hire people with high technical skills. Soft skills are important, but not fundamental for delivering products with good quality. A company cannot be founded using trainees, crazy deadlines, and managers who don't have the required technical knowledge to create good project proposals.
