Pros

Good amount of opportunities and recognition for junior and mid-level engineers. Decent pay. Really great benefits.

Cons
  • Hard to break into higher-level, senior, or leadership roles.
  • Can be chaotic between business and technology, with requirements and goals constantly shifting.
  • They are "agile" but really just waterfall using agile methodology.
Advice to Management

Pivot to actual agile development cycles. Empower technology teams rather than letting business teams hold the reins completely.
