Pros

Cutting-edge tools and technology, great people, and a friendly environment.

Cons

Management consistently bites off more than it can chew, so that teams are over-committed and under-resourced.

This results in intense schedule pressure, late projects, project cancellations, roadmap changes, etc.

Advice to Management

Learn to say no.

It doesn't matter what you want or need.

Learn to assess what you can actually afford to do.
