Pros

Good benefits if you want to be comfortable.

Cons

Their Objective-C code looks like it could have been used as an example of bad code in the book "Clean Code." I saw many classes with more than thousands of lines. One class was approaching 4000 lines. I saw several classes in one file. It was a waste of time to read, debug, understand, or refactor.

Advice to Management

Please care about clean code and enforce it.
