Pros

There are lots of varying opportunities, some really smart people, and the problems they are trying to solve are huge.

Cons

The management, lack of office space, the management, poorly executed products, insular teams that are so overwhelmed their first instinct is to push back on any request, lack of communication, lack of QA, no real documentation of any kind, and lack of a standard development platform.

Advice to Management

Promote and hire from within. Don't be a jerk to other teams. Own up to your software. Look to the long term and not the short term.
