Pros

A lot of learning potential, especially as a junior developer.

A high amount of ownership is given on the work.

Work happens at a fast rate, so there is a chance to make a lot of impact in a short time.

Cons

Work-life balance can be pretty strained.

Management can be unforgiving, and a few slip-ups can bring you under scrutiny.

The job can be thankless at times, where you aren't being given recognition for contributions but are being reminded of shortcomings.

Advice to Management
  • Be more understanding towards the employees and don't micromanage them.
  • Give more direction on expectations early on to prevent confusion and delays later.
