Pros

The salary is really high compared to the market.

Cons
  • Legacy spaghetti code, no tech stack.
  • No product vision.
  • Managers involved in every meeting, making every decision without asking the team.
  • Actually, there is no team at all.
  • Individual work is dominant rather than teamwork.
  • Remote work is discouraged.
  • Working from abroad depends on manager approval and has no standard approach.
  • You have to fight for the details of your work, for example, to understand what they are exactly asking you to do.
  • No openness and direct feedback; people talk behind each other.
Advice to Management

Reduce the hierarchy.

Don’t let team managers decide on everything.

Be open to change and don’t be afraid of new tech stacks and new ideas.

Introduce some structure to teams; you can apply Scrum.
