Pros

Lots of projects to work on; fast-paced, supportive team. A good place to improve one's skills. Little overtime required. Reasonable amount of meetings. Positive office culture.

Cons

Arbitrary deadlines set by PMs and managers, and unnecessary stress to meet them. Gamified metrics lead to this. Little time is spent reducing tech debt and messy code. Lots of unfinished projects are being launched. Recent layoffs and unprofitability make the company seem less trustworthy.

Advice to Management

Place more importance on the long-term, which includes launching projects to completion, reducing tech debt, and generally investing in technologies and projects for the long-term.
