Pros

  • Smart people to learn from
Cons
  • Every task/project is focused on promo, leading to a loss of interest in technical challenges.
  • Promo criteria are too strict and inconsistent across teams.
  • On-call is always a pain.
Advice to Management
  • Should have a separate support team for on-calls instead of having developers do that.
  • Compensate for the on-call extra hours.
