Pros

Nothing specific I can think of.

It works for engineers who cannot get a job in a serious tech company.

Cons

Unqualified managers who keep their jobs by giving good reviews to their bosses. Dumb engineers who basically converted from Cognizant, Accenture, etc., with zero talent, they resort to politics.

Advice to Management

Get rid of some managers. All they know is politics, with zero management skills. The only way they can keep their job is by bullying and sucking up to their boss.

They encourage engineers who can give good reviews. All they care about is how to get their next promotion; they don't care about the product or innovation.

They gang up and harass employees who want to change the system.
