Pros

Good benefits. Keen on new technologies. Incredibly relaxed. City center location. Friendly employees.

Cons

Terrible initiation process, especially for graduates.

Projects come and go, which are either legacy or short-lived.

The hardware provided is barely fit for duty.

Management do not listen to anyone outside the management team.

Falsely advertised jobs, e.g., Java developers brought in for JavaScript.

Very little work to do; developers idle for months.

Lack of expected processes, such as code reviewing or CI.

Developing an extremely negative reputation in the area due to the low retention rate.

More emphasis on being seen and heard than performing the duties of your role to an acceptable level.

Advice to Management

Listen to the employees.
