Pros
  1. Very competent peers.
  2. If you are in the right team, you can expect a lot of new innovative work.

Cons
  1. A lot of operational work is forced on the developers. This can get frustrating.
  2. Sometimes management doesn't really understand your work and its value. This affects promotions/appraisal.
  3. Not many facilities inside the office.
Advice to Management

There's more to management than just showing good numbers. Be concerned about employees' job satisfaction also.
