Pros

Each team is run like a startup. Teams get to decide what technologies can be used, how to design and build their systems.

Cons

On-call can be taxing.

Workplace needs serious improvements. Office spaces are crowded, parking is extremely problematic, and there are no real perks working in the office.

Advice to Management

Being frugal can often get extended too much. Be realistic and evaluate your policies to prevent them from becoming stupid.
