Pros

Generally fantastic co-workers.

Great location, pay, and benefits.

Opportunities to impact large populations.

Interesting problem spaces and projects.

Cons

Tons of bureaucracy and middle management.

Contractors seem more abundant than employees; new rotations have to be trained often.

Development teams have little say in priorities of features that get shipped, while tech debt constantly grows.

Return to office policies are becoming stricter.

Advice to Management

Reduce the number of layers in management.

Allow development teams more agency in their products and time to improve upon them.

Stop focusing so much on return to office and more on the people and impact.
