Pros

Constantly striving to improve processes and self, which usually leads to iterationally better products, better processes, and better infrastructure.

Current and always evolving technology stack, including almost all areas of work: cloud, DB, mobile, and web.

High expectations for developers to deliver, test, and deploy high-quality code.

Industry-competitive pay.

Great growth opportunities.

Employees are really treated like they are important, and the culture is truly wonderful and fun!

A lot of passionate, excited people who love what they do and the product they work on.

Cons

Things move too fast and often result in unclear objectives.

Often, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing, meaning different teams work on similar pieces and lead to issues.

Advice to Management

Some teams do not deliver the same quality as other teams and do not plan as detailedly. Getting this up to snuff would help overall productivity and would make those who do deliver better quality and plan more in detail.

Get 401K match in place.

Enforce a minimum amount of vacation time taken, maybe? It's too easy to take too little vacation time due to pace and pressures.
