Pros

There is so much to learn and so many amazing systems in place. Not perfect and ideal, but still wonderful.

Cons

You're constantly berated because you can never be perfect. The manager is more concerned about saving his bacon and not helping you grow. He doesn't couch it this way, but who are we fooling?

Advice to Management

The greatest "blocker" for some people is an abusive, constantly fault-finding, micromanagement style of management. It's not only engineers who may "lower the bar," but bad managers do the same, at a greater scale.
