Pros

The standards are so low you can get by with minimal effort if you are a competent dev who understands SOLID principles and OOP fundamentals and knows how to make reusable code. Great place for juniors who need experience with a low barrier of entry.

Cons

Really low dev standards.

It was very frustrating working on a team of devs who kept 'fixing' bugs by adding one more if-else to an already unstable solution.

I lost the will to fight the poor dev practices after 6 months.

Not a good culture for sr devs.

Advice to Management

Putting up with under-performers will continue to kill the morale of competent devs unless you raise your standards.
