Pros

Fine lunches. A big and nice office.

Cons

Very outdated technologies.

The principal and senior developers don't use Swift. All is done with 10-year-old technologies.

The manager and principal intimidate all the time. Very political.

I worked on an important system, and senior devs just stopped development because they didn't want competition.

I found another job and now sleep well.

Be careful, because you will be working on very old and outdated technologies with updates.

Some seniors don't develop at all; they control other developers and play political games, such as implementing different policies and holding tons of meetings.

Advice to Management

Adopt new technologies. Listen to developers.
