Cons

Inconsistent software development practices and processes exist between programs. Software organization is in its infancy. There is no consistent mentoring or professional development support. There is potential for a toxic culture among some teams. Recent company struggles impact resolve.

There is a push to return to the office even when it is completely unnecessary. My team is spread across the world with only one local team member, but my manager's manager wants me to go to the office four days a week. Pay may not be the most competitive, but it is not the worst either.

Most programs are not cutting-edge software. Some are just very old code. Processes can have too much overhead.

Advice to Management

Structured mentoring. Flexible return to office or remote options. More economies of scale for software! More consistent expectations for software quality.
