Pros

Decent pay, experience developing with modern tech stacks, fast pace, and interesting problems to work on.

Cons

Toxic culture, perverted incentive structures for FTEs, contractors, and managers.

Advice to Management

Don't appoint junior engineers epic owners, or provide them with specific training prepping them for that role.

Also, quit obsessing over the productivity metrics. That stresses everyone out and hurts morale.
