Pros

If you are lucky, you might join a team where the people are friendly and decent, but don't count on that.

Cons

Silos everywhere, incompetent people driving infrastructure and leadership.

There are environment outages every single day.

No one wants to take the blame, and the developers have to handle crazy constraints and even throw away months of work because someone from another team says that some technology will not be supported anymore.

If you want to clock your hours and get your paycheck, sure.

Now, if you care a little bit about development and want to actually do your best, this is not the place for you.

Advice to Management

Stop shifting the blame and help your teams. Be there for them.
