Pros

Here are five mandatory words.

Cons

Inconsistency in workflow causes several problems.

Your satisfaction on this job is highly dependent on your team. You might get stuck in a team full of micromanagers if unlucky.

Bureaucratic beyond anything; it gets very political.

Some people have egos and never admit when they are wrong.

Management has trouble communicating difficult asks.

Ancient technology; slow to improve on this. You will be behind in the industry working here.

Barely any raises, slow to promotions.

Late nights can be common.

Advice to Management

At the very least, integrate more relevant technology. Why are some teams on .NET in 2025?
