Pros
  • Flexible work culture.
  • Makes you very comfortable.
  • Get to learn new technologies if you are in the right team.
Cons
  • Highly political environment.
  • No vision.
  • Adopted Agile but are stuck with a lot of legacy. It's too big an elephant.
  • Treats people badly.
  • Senior leaders don't stick around for more than 3 years. They talk big, and before realizing their plans, they quit. Total lack of accountability.
Advice to Management

Be empathetic and treat people a little nice. Too much politics and some very bad hires, especially on the management side, can mess up the overall culture of the team.
