• Good salary
• Super relaxed
• No pressure

Everyone I worked with who had career aspirations has left. Everyone who just wants a good work-life balance stays, so the average age is quite high.

Some arrogant managers and favoritism.

There is no career progression for developers, and this is by design.

Managers and team leads have little to no people skills. They are technically strong but very unskilled at people management and coaching. You will be managed by good project managers who are technically strong and have no idea how to grow and coach people because they are chosen for their project management skills and not people skills.

The mobile app is a secondary product that the rest of the business doesn't care about, so you are always working on something secondary and insignificant to clients.

You will be working on a legacy codebase that is huge and moves very slowly with so much bureaucracy.

Choose proper people managers who have people management skills and train them further, instead of forcing technically strong project managers to be people managers.
