Pros

If you are lucky enough, you may end up in a team that uses the latest tech stack.

Cons

Too much interference from management and product owners in the engineering department. What started as an initiative to make this company an engineering place ended up in a micromanagement environment, increasing headcount with mediocre engineers and filling management and product owner positions with people that lack or have no engineering background.

Advice to Management

It will be best for the company to either resign or find the ones that undermine the engineering evolution of the company and kick them out.
