Pros

Coworkers are very knowledgeable, and there are lots of senior devs you can learn from. There are lots of learning resources if you know where to look.

Cons

Manager hasn't coded in years and gives non-answers full of buzzwords to straight-forward questions. It's a struggle communicating because he doesn't understand the codebase but is not willing to admit it and talks down to you.

Poor planning, no time to use the career growth resources available.

Advice to Management

Vet external senior management hires more closely after they are hired, and get feedback from their reports.
