Pros

Good exposure to the business world. Fast-paced development action. Good salary and equity.

Cons

Very little focus on quality engineering. Drowning in overcommitted technical debt. Very little emphasis on employee happiness.

Advice to Management

Good engineers like building things they're proud of. It's probably a better long-term strategy to build quality software, rather than getting the bare minimum built.
