Pros

Benefits are excellent. Good compensation.

Cons

Management is unorganized. Horribly unorganized.

Your workload changes projections every few weeks.

The codebase is a mess and has no documentation. They have Google Docs written for everything, which means thousands of docs, and most are outdated.

Development is not agile, not waterfall, not kanban—just chaos.

Advice to Management

If you didn't schedule everyone for 115% capacity, you'd have slack in the system for when things change.
